What will be the next planet humans will visit after Mars?

Question

Astronauts will likely return to the moon and then go to Mars in the near future. What do you think will be the next planet or satellite that humans will land on after Mars? Why?

Answer 1

the sun

Answer 2

your mom

Answer 3

None they are all to hot,cold,or have too much gas to visit

Answer 4

The best targets after Mars are Europa, Ganymede (both moons of Jupiter), Enceladus, and Titan (both moons of Saturn.)

Europa, Ganymede, and Enceladus all have some signs of possessing liquid water (and therefore are possible havens for life).  Titan is like a frozen Early Earth, and may have underground oceans of methane and hydrocarbons.   Ganymede and Titan are the two largest moons in the solar system (both bigger than the planet Mercury.)  All four moons would (provided some protection from radiation) make excellent vantage points from which to observe their planets.

Answer 5

Uranis

Answer 6

after advances in technology that will allow a compact rocket with enough power to escape from jupiter's overwhelming gravitational pull (so the ship doesn't get stuck there), small enough to be launched off earth; as well as self-sustainable environmental/living conditions within the ship (so the crew can continue to breathe, drink water, stay within livable temperatures, etc..); and all those pesky 'yet to be discovered' annoyances...

i believe the next destination is europa or io, depending on the time it takes to develop the program of getting there.  shorter time range would make europa a more suitable candidate; however, io may be a more attractive option, if it's volcanic activity has died down once humans are able to reach it.

Answer 7

I definitely think Venus.....because we have found the men from Mars. Now it's turn for the women to be discovered in Venus !

Answer 8

It will probably not be a planet but one of Jupiter's moons.  Venus and Mercury are too inhospitable, as are all the others.  Some of Jupiter's moons could probably support an exploration, once we figure out how to get there in less than five years (or however long it takes - a Mars mission will take three years round trip).

Answer 9

Wow, with over 160 moons in our very own backyard, there's no end in sight.  We can go moon hopping all over the galaxy.  

They're giving away Samuel Adams Utopias-Limited Edition- to the first 500 visitors to Ganymede and Europa.

We'll need survival guides, lunar sherpas and lunar newscasters to beam back all the travel news.  B&B's all over the universe.

Answer 10

Um...Mars' moons. A combination of both =]

Answer 11

one step at a time, bra. unwad your panties.

Answer 12

we cant. its too hot, cold or gasey like someone else said.

if the earth was put 1 degree closer or farther from the sun, we'd either burn to death or freeze to death. God is AMAZING...an atheist cant get an explanation for that! chance? yeah right!

Answer 13

I don't know how likely it is that we will visit another planet besides Mars. Venus would kill humans within an hour & Mercury's temperature vaults between two extremes. The gas giants are obviously made of gas, as well as being very far away. Dwarf planets & other assorted bodies beyond Neptune would require traveling faster than light to get there in under 30 years. My guess is that we will visit a moon of Jupiter or Saturn (or perhaps a large asteroid) before anything is developed that will allow humans to visit any of those planets.

Answer 14

That'll be about it for solar system planets, the rest are too inhospitable in one way or another. And the SUN, of course, is utterly impossible for the foreseeable future. Io and Europa are likely candidates, once we have a REAL space program.

Answer 15

they landed a probe on one of saturn's moons, because it has signs of water so maybe they'll observe that more closely

Answer 16

The moons of Jupiter and Saturn, Titan is one of the moons to visit because Titan has a thick atmosphere that could support life. Jupiter's moons, Europa because life might exist under Europa's ice sheets, perhaps subsisting in an environment similar to Earth's deep-ocean hydrothermal vents and even Callisto which is similar to Europa. We might send an unmanned craft to Pluto to see if life could under Pluto's Icy surface. We could go to Venus if we could survive Venue's thick atmosphere and high pressure surface, but that's one a few problems and Venus has the most volcanos about 1,000.

Answer 17

Ceres. It might only be a dwarf, but it's the only one besides Mars people could go to. The rest are all too hot or gas giants.

Answer 18

well after mars is jupiter - but jupiter is a gas giant - so most likely one of jupiters moons....

Answer 19

They gonna go to Omicron Persei 8

Answer 20

Maybe.
