If I went to Neptune, I'd have to bring a supply of food and oxygen, of course, as Neptune has none of that. But I'd have to wrap up extremely warmly and wear a very thick and insulated space suit, because Neptune is extremely cold - the upper atmosphere is -225 degrees Celsius!
I'd also have to bring a plane, or some other way of flying around in Neptune's atmosphere, because Neptune doesn't have a solid surface - instead, it just has an extremely thick atmosphere, which gets thicker and denser as you descend deeper into the planet and eventually becomes a liquid. If Neptune does have a solid core, it's right at the centre of the planet, under intense pressure and extremely hot - and totally inaccessible! So I could never land on Neptune - I'd have to bring something to fly in the atmosphere. Or maybe I'd have to make do with landing on one of Neptune's 13 moons. I'd have to make sure my plane was tough, because otherwise the hurricane-force winds that constantly blow in Neptune's atmosphere - faster than the speed of sound! - would tear it apart!
Finally, I'd have to bring a lot of entertainment for the journey there, as Neptune isn't somewhere we could go in a hurry! Neptune is so far away that even light, the fastest thing in the Universe - takes about four hours to get there from Earth. By spacecraft? It took the Voyager II spacecraft twelve years to get to Neptune, and that was because it got little speed boosts from an alignment of the planets. That alignment won't come back for centuries, so if you wanted to go to Neptune now by space probe you'd have to wait a good twenty years for the journey!

JudyWell, honey, if I were heading to Neptune, I'd bring a thick winter coat because it's colder than your ex's heart out there, some sunscreen because that sun is brutal even though it's far away, and a good book because let's face it, there's not much to do on a giant ball of gas.
If I were to travel to Neptune, I would bring a spacecraft equipped with advanced life support systems to sustain human life in the extreme cold temperatures and high-pressure environment of the planet. Additionally, I would bring scientific instruments to study the planet's atmosphere, magnetic field, and unique features such as its dark spots and rings. It would also be essential to bring communication equipment to maintain contact with Earth due to the vast distance from our home planet.
If I were to go to Neptune, I would bring a specially designed spacecraft that could withstand the extreme cold, high winds, and intense pressure of the planet's atmosphere. Additionally, I would bring advanced scientific instruments to study Neptune's composition, weather patterns, and magnetic field up close.
The planet Neptune and its moons are so far from the Sun that their outer temperatures are barely above absolute zero, and average in the range of -100 to -200°C. You could not walk on Neptune, which has a thick gaseous atmosphere and a superheated slush of water and ammonia covering its surface. You could explore its moons, where Earth gases exist as icy liquids and solids, and humans would freeze solid in seconds without heated protective suits.
You could have fun playing Ice Hockey, or ice skating, you could sight see, and there is a benefit of age, since a year on Neptune is about 165 (164.79 years to be exact) years on earth.

Would a Human Being Face Neptune?
Neptune's "surface gravity" is a bit more than Earth's, but Neptune's gravity would not crush you. If you went deep inside Neptune the pressure would probably crush you. That's not gravity crushing you directly, but the pressure. This pressure is caused by the combination of gravity and the planet's resistance to being compressed by gravity. The pressure increases rapidly with depth.
Have any robots went Neptune?
Just one: Voyager 2.
Would a can of coke freeze on Neptune?
Yes. Neptune is extremely cold.
What are the names of the astronAUT that went to Neptune?
No astronauts have ever traveled to Neptune. All space missions to outer planets like Neptune are conducted by robotic spacecraft such as Voyager 2.
Would you have to wear a coat on Neptune?
Neptune is very very cold a coat would not protect you enough.
