    If we look at planets we could set foot on, Mars seems to be the only that is within our technological abilities. Although Mars is between -137 F and 70 F, it has a hard surface. (The atmosphere is so thin on Mars that it has a hard time retaining thermal energy.) Jupiter and Saturn are balls of gas. There is no surface. Mercury and Venus average between 350 F and 850 F; they're inhospitable for sure. Although Pluto has a hard surface, it would take roughly 10 years to reach Pluto, and its -400 F average temperature would be intolerable. It is cool to look at Pluto (no pun intended), but it looks barren, and it probably is.
