Do you think that in about another century the human race will be able to travel to Pluto? How long would it take to travel to Pluto?
People haven't sent anything to Pluto so
far. But there is a probe that's going to be launched soon that's going
to fly by Pluto and study it. The probe is called the Pluto-Kuiper Express. It's small so
it will be able to travel fast. It should take the probe less than ten
years to reach Pluto.
We can't send humans to Pluto yet. It would take too long and be too
hard to pack things like food for so many years. If we find a way to
travel faster, then we can fly to Pluto.
