New Horizion Mission?

I recently viewed a show on the Science Channel that puzzled me immensly. It was about a manned mission notjust to Mars, but to Venus, Mars, than Jupiter (set for some year like 2015 or something). So many amaizing and yet puzzeling things about this mission that made me inspired, but also made me question it's valadity (because this mission seems improbable).
The following was what puzzled me-
How can they put a man on the surface of Venus and expect them to survive for any length of time?
How can this mission be so long when there is so much unseen danger in space like radiation and atrophy?
How can the craft use the Sun's gravity to fling it to Jupiter? Isn't there an EXTREMELY high amount of radiation/magnetic fluxuations, arms of plasma with the mass of earth shooting from the sun? How how how?
And how will these people aboard this nuculear powered ship have enough food to last them hundreds of days?
Why are we sharing superior technology for this joint mission?
Does anyone else know anything about this mission? For one; is it real?

I have a book on my bookshelf all aobut extraplanetary missions that answers a bunch of your questions. I'd have to find it, but I'm in the middle of a football game ATM. I'll check back later though...

It's going the other way

It is unmanned

It will use Jupiter's gravity to accelerate for the rest of it's journey to Pluto

Again, unmanned.

No, Johns Hopkins physics lab, some independent organization, and NASA are the only one's involved I believe

Yes, I do. It is real, it is going to Pluto with a few instruments, thermal imaging and such, one to check what the atmosphere of Pluto is like, a CD with my name on it.

Sorry, the program I recorded was scheduled wrong, resulting in a recording of a different program (the one I saw) with the name of another, seprate program.
Not totally my fault.
Does anyone know what this mission is really called then? The one I am talking about- no more smart assssedsfddfggfdsafasasdpoop (sorry).

There is no such thing as a manned mission to Pluto, New Horizons is the last chance to get there for the next 200 years.

OKAY, does anyone know about the manned mission to VENUS, MARS, and Jupiter?
