What would it take to land an astronaut on Pluto and return them?

>> No.12541689

If we can put a man on the moon we can put a man on Pluto.

It's too far. Nobody's going to want or need to physically go there for a very long time.

it takes light 1.3 seconds to travel from the moon to the earth while it takes light 4 hours to travel from the sun to Pluto.

Not much more than it took to get to the moon
>and return them?
They'd probably need coats and a lot more food and water than it took for going to the moon.

Some manner of rocketship.

I’m sure they could out fit a starship to take 1 or 2 guys there if they fill the whole cargo space with, fuel, food and a lot of water.

That’s the soonest realistic way, but it seems pointless.

and being ok with having a dead astronaut return.

Not necessarily, just cost we couldn't afford, and odds are "return them" is bringing their corpse back.

Pointless gimmick with current technology, waste of a major part of the people's lives.
