What is expected to be faced by man after crossing the boundary of Solarsystem?

The boundary of the solar system is probably very loose indeed. You could perhaps mean where the Suns gravitational influence is canceled by other stars or where the solar wind no longer reaches. Dust and space is most likely what you'll find. Space is pretty boring, trying to understand it is not :)

Nothing really would happen.\nThe side of the astronaut facing the sun would be extremely hot, the side facing away from the sun would be very cold, probably even frozen.\nThe astronaut's body would be hit by small bits of flying rock and space dust.

100 years might be a bit quick, but I think this may happen faster than one might think at first.\n\nRay Kurzweil is a well-known predictor of technology trends and suggests that the technology to 'move' a person from their brain to an electronic replica will happen in the not-so-distant future. Once this is possible, the technology needed for interstellar flights will be greatly simplified because any approach to transport a human (as they currently live, in a biological body) would consume incredible resources just to provide an environment in which they could survive.

The sky will gradually get blacker the higher you go since it is the earth's atmosphere which makes things look blue. The atmosphere does not end all at once, but kind of fades away.\n\nAccording to Wikipedia:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth%27s_atmosphere\n\n"The atmosphere has no abrupt cut-off. It slowly becomes thinner and fades away into space. There is no definite boundary between the atmosphere and outer space. Three-quarters of the atmosphere's mass is within 11 km of the planetary surface. In the United States, persons who travel above an altitude of 50.0 miles (80.5 km) are designated as astronauts. An altitude of 120 km (75 mi or 400,000 ft) marks the boundary where atmospheric effects become noticeable during re-entry."

http://www.darvill.clara.net/altenerg/solar.htm\n\nThis is a favorite source of future energy for many people, comforted by the thought that it is unlimited. But, quite the contrary is true. The Sun will exist for a long time, but at any given place on the Earth's surface the amount of sunlight received is limited--only so much is received. And at night, or with overcast skies, or in high latitudes where winter days are short and for months there may be no daylight at all, the sunlight received is very limited at times. Direct conversion of sunlight to electricity by solar cells is a promising field, but the amount of electricity that can be generated by that method is not great compared with demand. The conversion efficiency is low, about 12 percent with present technology.\n\nSolar energy in quantity requires huge installations. It has been estimated that an area of 60 square miles in relatively clear central Oregon would have to be covered with solar cells in order to meet the present electric needs of that State. About 10% of the cells have to be replaced each year. But the big problem is how to store significant amounts of electricity when the Sun is not available to produce it. That problem remains unsolved. The statement that "solar energy will not make next century's electricity" is probably right. And the end product is electricity--a very limited replacement for oil.

With the current advances in transportation technology, it will be possible it is just a matter of time.  The main problem that space exploration has to deal with is radiation surges caused by solar flares.  They have to develop a proper shielding and detection system that is light enough to launch into outer space.  That is one of the reasons why it is debated whether or not man has even walked on the moon because of the immense amount of radiation that the ship would have been forced to endure would it have traveled that distance.  There are a number of other proofs provided for both sides taht I will not get into.  I think that it is possible and that man will accomplish it if the Lord tarries his coming.

I am going to take a guess and say the moon.\n\nNo, I am kidding, it's the Sun\n\nSolar energy can be converted in to electricity and heat.

Brian is right, but I have to add a smart-ass remark that sun will burn up and go out in a few million years, but by then the humankind will either destroy itself, or find a way to move on to other stars.

What is the world coming to.

Either when Man destroys it himself, or when the Sun gets too hot in millions of years time. We will have moved by the time the sun gets too hot I reckon.

One consequence would be wherever the earth stopped the side with the sun on it would fry and the side without the sun would freeze.  Gravity would be disoriented so the tide wouldn't go in and out as usual.  The list goes on...

nothing really, since that there was earth 5 billion years b4 humans. so i guess the next 5 billion years( thats when the sun will combust) will be really qiuet!

Tesla's tower, perhaps?  This is just another way we know that the solar wind is NOT electrically neutral, since the Earth has to absorb the energy and balance itself through the aurora act.  Our instruments in space can't detect the charge difference because the solar "wind" (or electric current) is so big in its plasma state, and the difference per cubic meter is so small.\n\nThis is why scientists like Phil Plait who ride on the nuts of big names like Einstein just might be wrong, but who are we to question Einstein, right?  Well we got bigger and better telescopes and satellites for one, and we've been able to take better pictures and observations because of this.  Damn, I think they were barely discovering the Sun's magnetic field during Einstein's time.\n\nThere are so many examples out there that demonstrate the electrical nature of the universe.\n\nMars, and how it got blasted?  Yep.\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AlajPWBaIISxPbzkjEFDsqzsy6IX?qid=20060619194732AAwm9Mf\n\nComet's and their interactions with the Sun? Yep.  Venus' almost perfectly circular orbit, how we detected a long, "stringy" plasma structure issuing from Venus that nearly reached our planet, and how Venus spins the other direction very slowly, and how the entire planet has a nearly brand new surface, AND how ancient names for it are morning star, BEARDED planet, HAIRY planet, and SMOKY planet?  Oh yeah, double mother-fuckin' check on that.\n\nRead up on the "Electric Universe" theory, it's the future of space science.  All these old guys at NASA will be out of jobs if word ever gets out, so they'll get really mad when their life's work is challenged and I guess I can understand that.... but get OUT!

The sky's the limit!  Sorry, couldn't resist.\n\nIt really depends on what advances are made in physics and technology.  Right now it looks like it would be very unlikely that man will ever leave the solar system.  The reason for that is because it takes so much energy to push a craft at the speeds necessary to get anywhere in a decent amount of time.  NASA recently launched a tiny, little probe to Pluto, which will take 10 years to arrive.  To send a crew of people that far, a much larger craft would be needed to support the life systems, which means far more energy would be required to push it.  The energy source would further increase the mass of the craft and increase the energy requirements, etc.\n\nI think our best bet with "conventional" technology would be to send a suicide mission to Alpha Centauri (the next-nearest star).  I don't know what the point would be of sending humans there, but it could be done over a period of maybe 100 years.  The original astronauts might not make it, but they could have children or grandchildren during the voyage who could reach the star.\n\nIf scientists ever figure out how to create and travel through wormholes or other theoretical means, then there's really no limit to how far we can go.

it's really a logical answer, when it gets close enough to the sun. duuuuuuuhhhhh

I don't know BUT I think there will be BIG trouble during the scientifically predicted solar storm year of 2011.  I caught a science show (Please see link below) about two nights ago that was on of course @ about 1 or 2 am.  They discussed in documentary form and showed a scenario of nearly all transformers on EARTH destroyed by this which caused a GLOBAL blackout for approximatedly ONE YEAR.  Think of it, all the ramifications of NO ELECTRICITY for ONE YEAR.  We should use this time wisely to stock up on food and water and where legal on fuel.  It sure can't hurt and if it should happen won't you be glad that you were prepared.
