Is Pluto the only planet that hasn't been visited by a space probe?
Yes, but no. Kinda. Pluto is actually no longer a planet since 2006. So technically all the planets have been visited by space probe. New Horizons is expected to arrive at Pluto around May 2015. Pluto was not in proper alignment during Pioneer 10 or 11 nor the Voyager 1 or 2 missions which explored the outer planets. ChaCha on!
