04. Would we be able to live on Neptune? (A K2S Question)

From The Space Library

Even though it is unlikely that a solid surface exists on Neptune (at least one on which you could land a spacecraft), evidence suggests that the atmosphere surrounding the planet consists of toxic gases mixed with water. Humans would not be able to survive because of the extreme cold temperatures, high pressures, and toxic gases that exist there. Astonishingly, Neptune's moon Triton may harbor aquatic life forms under its surface as a result of its internal geologic activity.
