We had a discussion about it earlier in science
Take about 10 willing people
Put them onto a space shuttle
Send them off to Pluto (this will take about 100 years)
But inorder for them to get there they will have to keep producing babies and for them to have a baby and so on until they finally get there, then do it to get back.
Do you think this will ever happen ?
datll be sik
I doubt we'll go to Pluto, its extremely cold.
Why would it be sick ?
sik as in nang, as in wicked? ...
Wouldn't imbreeding fall into place here? You send say, 4 people, at one point they would have to have sex with a brother or sister, also, that baby would have to learn what to do and train for a landing, which they simply won't be able to do on a shuttle.Quote:

No.
Space shuttle's speed is 17,500mph
Minimum distance of Pluto from the Earth is 2,600,000,000 Miles
Meaning it would take 148572 hours, which is 6191 days, which is 17 years.
Therefore they wouldn't need to reproduce. Plus supplies, water, food, fuel would run out.
Plus why would they want to go to Pluto, which isn't even a planet, then come back again?
I doubt they'd have enough power or food to get there. Be rad anyway!
It would be a waste of a life..
Oh lol 17 years sorry, Ergh...why not go to Pluto ?
Because there is nothing of significance on there. It's just a rock. If we want to find anything about dwarf planets, we might aswell go to Ceres not Pluto. And it'd be a waste of money?Quote:

Why not go to Pluto ?Quote:

No, it will never happen. You'll need water, food and oxygen for 200 years, how are you gonna get that?
17 Years, Im sure they could actually do it...
Ergh Dumbo. Is there anything stopping them from taking a bigger shuttle?
Why would it?Quote:

"We go back?"
"I guess."
"Well that was a waste..."
"Yeah."
Plus we already have a spacecraft going to Pluto, so there's no need.
And a bigger shuttle would need years to build, test, equip etc.
Seriously a shuttle going up to pluto as we speak ? COOL
whats it called?
You said 100 years in your first post? :SQuote:

Lol, i think it would be cool, The sun getting smaller and smaller, and then it disapering
Oxygen they can recycle with a filter or something, water they can probably do the same. Fuel would probably wouldn't be needed or something, it'll probably get gravity assists or something to speed it up, but food, there's no way around trying to store 34 years food in a shuttle.Quote:

And the sun wouldn't dissapear, we're billions of miles away from other stars, yet we can still see them in our night sky.
Rofl. Imagine they spend 17 years going to pluto right, and then they realise that it was a complete waste of time, 17 years. Then another 17 years to go back. Ill just chill around in space for ever, seriously.Quote:

I can chill in space wit one of those spacemen outfits, u no, the ones dat give u oxygen...and ill jus chill around for like a year or so. Probably float my way away from earth, den eventually die, where no man has ever been.
Why not just go mars? :P
Ok, you've got me there. :P I'd hate to stay in space though.Quote:

Japan will create a outfit that gives you oxygen which never ends, always recycles, feeds you, allows you to excrete, and also gives you water, all in space. Sometime in the future, mark my word.
Won't happen. ;)Quote:

Easier said than done. =/ Bet I know more about Japan than you, trust lol that suit aint getting made. :P
Lol, never know ;]
i wonder if mars is made of mars bars. yum, lul would be wierd going to pluto.. waste of time.
Get me into space, providing I don't hit something I have enough power ;)Quote:

Doubt it'd be possible to send a miniature settlement into space for a good while anyway.
