Will Astronauts ever make it to Uranus?

Question

I love it that I live in a world where no one can take a single question I ask seriously...

Answer 1

What are you, 10?

Answer 2

Yes of course. But don't ask when or how. Currently, we don't even know how to get to Mars or Venus.

Answer 3

flowers and a movie first might help.

Answer 4

No matter how badly you want an astronaut to visit Uranus they probably won't go there.

Answer 5

That joke was first told shortly after its discovery in 1781, and it absolutely had audiences rolling on the floor, but after 300 years....in all honesty.....its STILL hilarious! Seriously though to answer your question the temperatures and winds would make it VERY inhospitable. Read on from the web:Uranus is similar in composition to Neptune, and both have different compositions from those of the larger gas giants Jupiter and Saturn. As such, astronomers sometimes place them in a separate category, the "ice giants". Uranus' atmosphere, while similar to Jupiter and Saturn in being composed primarily of hydrogen and helium, contains a higher proportion of "ices" such as water, ammonia and methane, along with the usual traces of hydrocarbons. It is the coldest planetary atmosphere in the Solar System, with a minimum temperature of 49 K (−224 °C). It has a complex, layered cloud structure, with water thought to make up the lowest clouds, and methane thought to make up the uppermost layer of clouds. In contrast the interior of Uranus is mainly composed of ices and rocks.

Like the other giant planets, Uranus has a ring system, a magnetosphere, and numerous moons. The Uranian system has a unique configuration among the planets because its axis of rotation is tilted sideways, nearly into the plane of its revolution about the Sun; its north and south poles lie where most other planets have their equators.Seen from Earth, Uranus' rings can sometimes appear to circle the planet like an archery target and its moons revolve around it like the hands of a clock, though in 2007 and 2008 the rings appear edge-on. In 1986, images from Voyager 2 showed Uranus as a virtually featureless planet in visible light without the cloud bands or storms associated with the other giants. However, terrestrial observers have seen signs of seasonal change and increased weather activity in recent years as Uranus approached its equinox. The wind speeds on Uranus can reach 250 meters per second

Answer 6

They will never make it to my a**s.
