  1. Mine isn't big enough nor do I want anyone landing on it.


  2. 1.  It is a gas giant.  If there is a surface, its so far down any ship would be crushed.  Bad idea.

    2.  We don't have the technology to send manned ships that far.  We haven't even gone to Mars.  Uranus is very far away and any voyage would take many years.  There is no money to build anything for so foolish a trip even if the technology were available.

  3. Its a gas giant with no surface as such, and with a temperature of - 180 celsius which would shatter a body into a million pieces, plus no breathable oxygen,and it is too far away for any man carrying spacecraft to reach.

  4. For the same reason they can't land on Neptune.

  5. Probably because, as far as we can tell, it's mostly comprised of gas, like Jupiter. I don't think anyone is going to worry about landing on Uranus until we've landed on the other planets in our solar system and look how long it's taking us to go to Mars, our next closest planet, and Uranus is over 45 times farther away than Mars (1.6 billion mi.)! It would take about 33yrs. one-way to get to Uranus at today's space velocity.
