- How Long Would it Take Us to Get to Pluto?
Once upon a time, in 1930, there was a little 11-year-old girl called Venetia. One morning, as she was eating breakfast with her grandfather, it struck her to suggest calling the newly discovered planet Pluto. And that’s exactly what happened!
Pluto is a really cool place in outer space! It's much smaller than Earth's Moon, and it has a nice heart-shaped glacier that's the size of Texas and Oklahoma combined. It’s an icy dwarf planet that is very, very far away from us. It's so cold that nothing can live on it. It's about half the size of the United States and it's so far away from the Sun that it takes over 30 years for it to go around the Sun once!
Pluto has blue skies, and it has spinning moons that look like they're dancing in the sky. There are also really tall mountains like the ones here on Earth, and when it snows, the snow is red!
Have you ever wondered how long it would take us to get to Pluto? The answer lies within the vastness of space and the technology we have available to us.
How long would it take us to go to Proxima Centauri?
That of one day reaching out and touching the stars is a relatively recent desire of our species...We can perhaps date its appearance to 1838, the year, that is, when the German astronomer Friedrich Bessel first succeeded in determining the distance to a star and clarifying the extent of the problem we faced.
A dream, we said,,,,, but with recent advances in technological development it seems that dream is slowly becoming a reality...hand in hand with our growing awareness of the limited resources and environmental problems we face here on Earth.
Indeed, stars are far, far too far away... But, there you go... If there were an exoplanet with some Earth-like qualities within a radius of a few light-years (not a hundred or a thousand, as is the norm) then yes, this could work!
It would do a bit like the Moon, which served as a first step, a spur to get us to the other planets... We could start seeing interstellar space as a sea sprinkled with islands, rather than as the current unreachable void.
What a pity!

Hey guys! If you liked the video, we would love for you to share it on social networks like Facebook, Reddit, Instagram, Tik Tok and Twitter.(Since the algorithm is not helping us in terms of views).
You will greatly help the Insane Curiosity community to grow and improve more and more our upcoming content. A big thank you from all of usczcams.com/users/sgaming/emoji/7ff574f2/emoji_u1f605.png
Bro. If it took New Horizons 9 years to get to Pluto why would it take 100 years for humans to get there. Care to explain yourself in a future video. Also doesn’t Pluto take like 250 years to orbit the Sun ?
First 10 mins of this was just the same information being repeated in about 5 different ways.
The longest time in the universe is how long it takes for this video to explain how far away the planets are
The volume if the background music makes it hard to hear.
We are truly in a intergalactic prison.
Yes, It does take over 30 years for Pluto to go around the sun once, but it is also over 230 years too. @00:43
According to NASA it takes Pluto 248.59 years to orbit the sun. Also, the New Horizons Spacecraft was launched in 2006 and flew past Pluto in 2015, by my maths that works out at 9 years not hundreds. I usually like Insane Curiosity videos, but this one is so bad I stopped watching after 2:20.
Was coming to say this. It's like saying the pyramids were built many decades ago; you're not wrong, but you're not right...
@@armstrongro I only kept watching to see what other nonsense they could come up with.
@@spddiesel excellent analogy
I honestly just think he mispoke and it wasn't caught or edited. Ya I'm literally 0:49 in and paused to check comments to see if anyone else caught this lol
Yo. The music is way too loud. At several points in the video I couldn't even hear what you were saying. Turn down the music.
Fix your ears then
You missed that 200 years along with that 30 that it takes Pluto to go around the sun.
I understand that it takes 150 years to Pluto to go around the sun
234 años mi hermano 🇵🇷
@@davidfigueroa6351 248.09 to be precise. 150 years was an estimate from the past
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
I do it in one day ! In my mind
"it takes 5.5hrs for light to get to Pluto.... thats just like if you did something for 5.5hrs. . " GREAT analogy!!
It wouldn't take hundreds of years to get to Pluto one human made craft has visited it, New Horizons, and although they didn't visit Pluto Pioneer 10 and 11 and Voyager 1 and 2 are way past it's orbit and it didn't take them hundreds of years.Humans however need to eat and drink so wouldn't be able to do the same trip as those 5 probes.
Well the voyager probe used gravity assist from the rare planetary alignment so it was able to reach speeds that only fuel could not.. but it still won't take hundreds of years lol
All the planets in our solar system are within one light year from us. You said it yourself, Pluto is only 5.5 light hours away from us. All the other planets are closer than that. You make it sound like Pluto is farther than a light year. Might want to do some corrections.
@03:26
If Persephone indeed is launched and begin orbiting Pluto in 2058, then I will be around 80 years old at that time. I hope I´m around to see the pictures from the side of Pluto we didn´t get as detailed photos of from New Horizon. I also hope there is no delays for the Persephone mission, if possible I hope for an earlier date of orbit insertion. (Persephone seems to be a good chosen name, from what I can tell when searching for the name´s meaning / background.)
I also hope we copy the design and send orbiters to both Neptune and Triton, to both Uranus and Miranda and all the other moons of both planets.
Voyager 1 flew past Pluto's orbit in 1989, how would it take "hundreds" of years to get there?
100's of years if it were manned. U missed that part is what happened.
Good content... just work on the sound next time
Couldnt make it past 8 minutes when the narrator told us 5 times that finding moons around pluto avoided the damage and destruction of the spacecraft. Like first of all the likelihood of hitting those objects is extremely close to zero, and secondly if they were gonna hit the moons theres nothing anyone could have done about it
The background music makes it hard to hear narration at times. But great video overall
Have you ever watched back your own videos? I like the content, but they are so hard to watch the way the audio levels are constantly going up and down - and its not just this video but how you've been doing them for quite some time.
I made it to 6 minutes in to this video before I just had to stop watching :(
I switched off after just a couple of mins. Background music was infuriating 🤨
Tone down the music, it’s blaring over your voice
3:23 - 3:31 wtf...
You do realize planets thare are a few light years away would be unimaginably further than planets that are 4.6 billion km away right?
I paused to check comments if someone else noticed it.😅
Lot of mistakes in this video. He probably meant Astronomical unit.
Light hours
I wouldn't count very much on NASA but rather on private enterprises like SpaceX for that kind of endeavors
I wish people could live on their too bc it looks so lonely🥺 Ik it takes so long to get there but idc how long as long as I’m there I will love it❤️😄🌕🌎
Odds of hitting them moons? If you bet on it you'd better have got a lottery ticket the same day
Very disappointed in your audio. Much of the narration is muted by the background music.
The background music is a little loud.
It would be nice if I could hear the narrator.
the music is mixed way too loud.. cool video though
Pluto orbits the sun in 30 years?! Um… no
It’ll be highly disappointing if man flew all the way to Promixa B planet and it’s just a lifeless hot rock like Venus 😮
Ok, now we have way better cameras and videos to do live feeds for the public. Why haven't we sent another person to the moon? 🤔
I'm sure it would take crew with adequate life support systems and fuel reserves some time longer than the probes to reach Pluto, but hundreds of years? I don't think so. I didn't even bother waiting to see what they had to say about a journey to Proxima Centauri as I lost confidence in their credibility. I'm sure they said something like trillions and trillions of epochs, LMAO!
Alpha Centauri A Has 5 Planets
423 Designation
324 Designation
Oceanus
Polyphemus
Prius
Alpha Centauri B Has 8 Planets
Vulcan(It Is Actually Tidally Locked To Alpha Centauri B)
Hermes(It’s Hours Are Longer Than Its Year)
Aphrodite
Gaea(It Has Life, Forests, Grasslands, Deserts, Oceans and A Oxygen Rich Atmosphere)
Ares
Zeus
Cronus
Poseidon
Proxima Centauri Has 2 Planets
Proxima Centauri B(It Has Deserts, Inked Oceans and Carbon Dioxide Rich Atmosphere)
Proxima Centauri C(A Ice Giant With Yellow Rings and 54 Moons)
The Entire Alpha Centauri System is 4 Light Years from Earth and the Sun
Polyphemus is from Avatar bro it aint real 😂
Great video! Persephone is pronounced per-sef-a-nee (like the Greek goddess of the underworld).
The closest star to Earth is the Sun.
a nuclear starship civilization could reach anything
It would take a powerful spacecraft to go to Pluto
could you imagine if the US government gave more funding to NASA instead of its military
Pluto time for the day I'm watching is 7:29 pm CDT
We'll get the answer how to reach Alpha Centaury in a beautiful spring day of 05.04.2063.😃
First contact day :)
Star chip? I know Zuckerberg and others are in the process of working towards a small unmanned ship visiting with a tentative launch date in 2037.
Always interesting contents..
Thanks for the upload, IC..💖
-6:15 it’s actually Sputnik Planitia. NOT Planinninum
-It takes Pluto approx 248 years to orbit the sun not 30
-it’s pronounced “kar-on” not Sharon
-at the time when new horizons launched it was the fastest spacecraft ever (since beaten by the Parker probe) and launched in 2006. It arrived at the Pluto system in 2015, took 9 years and not the suggested hundreds. And when talking about going to our nearest star, we’re talking tens of thousands of years.
-11,000 foot mountains are “really tall” indeed!!
I feel like I was watching a video for a 5 year old along with totally misguided information. I normally enjoy these videos as basic as they are as background noise but i feel you guys have been slippin lately. Let’s get our facts straight, use more REAL photos as there are hundreds available to you and maybe gear your content more to young adults/adults as they are your target audience after all! Thank you!
Love the long and detail videos !!
Too bad most of the details are wrong or fake.
Humans will simply never achieve any interstellar travel.
Would be hilarious when a day come when we say a Century earlier we landed on the moon referring to 1969 😆
Why do videos always have music thats louder then the narrator!
Orbital period is 248 years. You’re off by a little bit there…
Say Persephone again. 😂
With the right technology it can be done in a much shorter time than hundreds of years.
Dwarf planet?? Who are we to judge?? It has moons and it orbits around the sun. Thats a planet ya'll
Takes more powerand thrust to enter Uranus than Pluto
Warp Factor three. Beam me up Scotty.
Per-Sef-O-Nee.
Persephone.
It takes Pluto over 248 years to orbit the sun not 30
248 years orbital period.
Persephone. Rhymes with Stephanie
Pluto too cold no points of studying that planet.
Then antartica is also cold
Great video and information !
No its not actually, Most of the info is wrong and/or made up. Don't worry. This channel has been a joke for years
@@arob9981 Exactly. There are literally mistakes every minute in every video of this channel...
Interesting stars
So, if it takes so long to get to Pluto, how is it that we know anything about it?
What is the name of the soundtrack?
Thanks for the video but I quickly got fed up struggling to hear the person speaking, background music is far too loud.
Sound guy wylin from 10:00 - 11:30
From pluto the sun is just a little star
Get your facts right, it take 248 years to go around the sun once, Saturn year is about 30 earth years.
WE SHOULD INVEST HEAVILY ON ISRO FOR NEXT 20 YEAR IF WE WANT TO BE SUPER POWER UP TO 2047
12:17 that’s not Pluto that’s Earth
Saying it takes over 30 years to orbit the sun is accurate, I guess, but saying Pluto takes over 247 years to orbit the sun would be less misleading. I had to watch the beginning a few times to make sure you said "over 30 years."
Its just me or the sun moving to mercury?
10:20 "Persephone" is pronounced per-se-fo-nee
Ouch, im only 4 mins in and... very odd, usually your videos are better than this, 2 mistakes already.... if you are looking for editor, ill work super cheap :)... still enjoy your content 👍
FYI: Persephone is pronounced Persefawnee.
Purse a phone is growing on me
@@saladmcjones7798 That's what you do when you tuck your phone away.
Ploo Dough
Good info but it didn’t really need to be a 25 minute video
Oh FFS!!! Why the loud background music? I switched off 🤬
The background music drowns out the naration. Ruins the video.
Um, also, none of the planets orbiting the sun are a few light years away.
These inaccuracies are sloppy or just plain ignorance. I’m not subscribing to something that is so willfully incorrect.
You need to learn how to use music with the narrative. The music overshadows the voice. Your videos give me a headache..... I like the content, but I can't handle the sound
Background music is annoying
Dude, "per-sef-fuh-nee" is how its pronounced not "per-seh-phone" 😂🤣. Named after the greek goddess, daughter of Zeus.
Ya i caught that too and was like "Bruh wtf..."
Persephone is pronounced "Per-seh-fow-nee", not 'Percy-fone' 🤣 🤪
Maybe they were watching Thomas the tank engine?
Proserpina, for Latins . . .
"Unlike other planets that are located within a few lightyears of Earth," while they are showing a clip of our solar system. Is this a.i written junk?!?! Almost impossible to travel there in a human lifetime? Voyager 1 and 2?!?!
So many mistakes.😂
Can't deal with the loud background music. 👎🏾
Whoah whoah whoah? 30 years is 1 year on Pluto? Yea this video lost all credibility.
Itll take app' 8/12hrs, its up to you how fast you want to go ...
Is this channel AI-generated content?
This information could have been presented in 5 minutes, without the flowery and repetitive oration.
The music is annoying
The information in this video is wrong on so many levels.
Irritating music...
30 years???? I guess u really don’t know much about the subject.
"Proxima" means "close", so it shouldn't take that long... 🙄
Also suggest you triple-check your pronunciations of "Persephone" and "von Neumann"
And "close" is a relative concept of distance, not a definitive one! 😊
Dude, did you know that "antifa" stands for antifascist so they never use violent and authoritarian tactics
@@zimriel Are you joking ?!
Proxima means next
Okay, so you guys deleted my comment...let me put it in a way that meets your guidelines, specifically the one about how "questions are encouraged"...
What was the motivation to deviate from objective, space-related content - that you're so well-known for in the first place - in favor of a subjective video only explaining or exploring one side of an issue? Every sentence with "catastrophists" in it was a subjective statement (i.e. an opinion), so why the shift?
I think my original comment was more than respectful in the way I stated it, so if you continue to delete what you claim to encourage, I'll have no choice but to conclude that you do not actually have the objectivity that I once thought your channel had.
Also, I'm only including it on this video because there is a relevant difference in the objectivity of THIS video (and the normal subjects you cover) and the video(s) in question, so this is not an irrelevant question in relation to this video.
HI Steed, Sorry to hear that but We did not removed, probably was automatically deleted pe since we have some filters
@@InsaneCuriosity thank you for your response on the matter, I sincerely appreciate it and I definitely understand that it could have been removed automatically for whatever reason, so I apologize for making the insinuation that it was intentionally removed.
Lies lies lies and more lies
This video has far too many mistakes
I watch insane curiosity, but lets face it, the writing is usually always terrible. Repetitive, often featuring outright wrong information, not to mention packed with mispronounciations in the voiceover. Yet... here i am.
"Purseiphone." "Procksimuh." Come on, my guy. Do better...
Also, I got your interstellar ramjet right here... DANGLIN'!!!
Guys, guys, guys! You got it all wrong it's so much faster if you just fold space. I mean come on, why waste time and fuel when folding space is so much smarter. Just like this fairytale video is. Lol. Everything in this video is make believe. Why go the speed of light? That's for whimps! Go 100 times the speed of light and get there in a couple weeks! I can play make believe just like this video does. Speculating on things that aren't even in sight of us accomplishing is fairytale and that's for little children to listen to
Lmaoo this made me laugh out loud man😂😂😂😂😂😂
