I look forward to all the future missions that NASA is going to be sending out in the Solar System. Here, check this out. You can use NASA’s website to show you all the future missions. Here’s everything planned for the future, here’s everything going to Mars.
Now, let’s look and see what missions are planned for the outer planets of the Solar System, especially Uranus and Neptune. Oh, that’s so sad… there’s nothing.
It’s been decades since humanity had an up close look at Uranus and Neptune. For Uranus, it was Voyager 2, which swept through the system in 1986. We got just a few tantalizing photographs of the ice giant planet and it’s moons....
What’s going here on Triton? Wouldn’t you like to know more? Well, too bad! You can’t it’s done, that’s all you get.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad we’ve studied all these other worlds. I’m glad we’ve had orbiters at Mercury, Venus, everything at Mars, Jupiter, and especially Saturn. We’ve seen Ceres and Vesta, and the Moon up close. We even got a flyby of Pluto and Charon.

All waste of money. Forget outer space. If the same money we wasted on to moon and beyond would have been spent in the oceans the world would have been better.
What does it help looking in the stars? What does it help besides curiosity?
Are there any homo astronauts that they could send to probe Uranus?
Seeing how you're 'Oldasrocks', one would think you would have worked that out by now.
“IS TIME TO GO BACK TO URANUS AND NEPTUNE? REVISITING ICE GIANTS OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM”
Serious answer - no.
It is time to further perfect heavy-lift, practical spaceflight, with the goal of colonizing the Moon. From there we’ll begin mining asteroids, and start enjoying the virtually endless wealth and energy available in space.
Uranus may have a magnetic field too.
