      Great question, as I’d love to go to Saturn and explore it with my own eyes! I guess it depends on what you mean by the future. Right now the only way is to send a satellite or a robotic mission. This is because it takes about seven years to get there!! So humans couldn’t really survive the trip there. Also we can’t land on Saturn as it is a gas planet, so if we sent robotic missions they could only visit Saturn’s moons. This is pretty cool though as the moons of Saturn are all really interesting!
      I guess we don’t really know what humans could be capable of in the far future. Maybe one day we could teleport there 🙂
