Serious question. I'd like to at least try.
They can barely fly a helicopter to the top of Everest, even that might be impossible so the answer is no. Unless Chuck Norris was the pilot.

You forgot that this one is solar powered or some shit.
You can only get there if they say they will be your baby, yeah.
are the overlords developing a sense of humor?

How come the OP can type sh*t? If I try to type sh*t, it won't let me post!

Try "s", "h", "[", "i", "]", "i", "t", "[", "/", "i", "]" .

OMG, that's it! Make the helicopter out of magnets!

Oops. Not quite right but you get the idea.
What if the helicopter has rockets or some shit?
sounds plausible. I was also wondering if it might be possible to ride a speedboat around Uranus?

Matters not. It's the thin air that causes the problem for helicopters. They finally got one to land on the summit though -

You could definitely fly one to the sun because since it is solar powered the helicopter's power supply would increase exponentially as it neared the sun and you would have insane amounts of lift and propulsion.

That would really be some shit.

The only way a helicopter could get into orbit is if it picked up enough speed before the air got to thin and it's momentum carried it into orbit. The problem is there would be no way to steer or maneuver.
That's why you always select the thruster package when purchasing a helicopter. I made the same mistake when I bought my first, and had a hell of a time flying to the moon.
As mentioned earlier, since space (between Earth's atmosphere and the moon) is a vacuum, the propellers do not generate a lifting force. Also, there is no oxygen in vacuo to combust, i.e., the engine will not run.
However, if it were solar powered or some shit, then you still have the lift problem.
No, you cannot fly a helicopter to the moon.
Wouldn't you need a huge fuel tank on the helicopter? I heard the moon is pretty far away....
A helicopter is sitting on an enormous elevator. As the helicopter starts its engines and propeller, the elevator moves up at the same speed the helicopter would otherwise be moving. Can the helicopter take off?
