Is it safe to land on Pluto?

The moon's surface is made mostly of silicate rock. Pluto, on the other hand, is covered with ice — not just water ice, but frozen methane, carbon monoxide and nitrogen. On contact with hot rocket exhaust at several thousand degrees, there's a real danger that the landing site might vaporize.

Is there life on Pluto?

As such, there is simply no way life could survive on the surface of Pluto. Between the extreme cold, low atmospheric pressure, and constant changes in the atmosphere, no known organism could survive. However, that does not rule out the possibility of life being found inside the planet.

Why can't we return from Mars?

The gravity on Mars is 38% of Earth's (so you'd feel lighter) but the air is principally carbon dioxide (CO₂) with several percent of nitrogen, so it's completely unbreathable. We would need to build a climate-controlled place just to live there.

What would happen if the sun turned into a red giant?

As our star ends its life, it will swell far beyond its current size, and as it does so, it will transition into a Red Giant. During this transformation, the sun will melt our glaciers and (eventually) boil our oceans. This expanding Sun will engulf the Earth, and any life that remains along with it.
