Why do you not expect any people to walk on Mars until about 2100? I thought the US is seriously considering a program of manned exploration, first back to the Moon and then to Mars, with the Mars landing planned for somewhere in the next 30 years.

I don't think it's possible to walk on the surface of Neptune since as a gas giant, or more accurately, ice giant, Neptune does not likely contain any surface. Even if it does, a person would likely be crushed before reaching that surface.
