black hole in order for it to take pictures and get more info about black holes and have it go into the black hole to see if we can get any thing from the trip of entering it and/or from within it?
Has NASA witnessed anything disappear into a black hole?

No space probes have been launched toward any bodies outside of our solar system. The farthest man-made object, the Voyager 1 probe is still within the outermost reaches of the Solar System and is not expected to reach the very edge of the Sun's magnetic influence until at least 2015. This will be after nearly forty years of space travel (it launched in 1977). It would take thousands of years with our current technology to reach the nearest location believed to be a black hole.
As for seeing anything disappear into a black hole, no black hole has ever been actually seen. Their existence is inferred from circumstantial evidence such as x-rays and gamma rays.

Black holes are light years away, meaning it would take years to get to them even at the speed of light. The farthest object ever sent anywhere by NASA is only just approaching the boundary of the solar system after around thrity years of flight.
The biggest frustration in astronomy is that we can only look from a distance at anything outside our solar system.

Sending the team accessible is the expensive section. extremely expensive. you want to go each and every of the thanks to the Moon (strengthen up the stuff and the human beings to 11 km/s), then land on the Moon (braking hostile to a million/6 gravity isn't loose), take off from the Moon again (different the human beings might want to insist on being delivered again alive) which takes better gas, then arrive again at Earth at 25,000 mph (11 km/s) and... want for the acceptable. in evaluation, the go back and forth basically needs to understand rather below 8 km/s to understand orbit. Drop off the textile (which, being interior the shipment carry of the go back and forth, is already interior the right orbit) and the human beings. those who insist on coming again, hop again into the go back and forth which truly needs to brake extremely, causing it to drop into the ambience at a safer speed of 17,000 mph. also, on the Moon, you aren't from now on getting any of the reward of being in orbit (e.g., microgravity experiments). on the realm spation, the "lifeboat" is a uncomplicated Soyouz pill. You hop in, separate, brake extremely... and also you fall again to Earth. From the Moon, you'll probably want a significantly better tricky section vehicle as a "lifeboat". of route, once you've the money to construct a Moon base, pass authentic ahead.

They couldn't, because as soon as the satellite would be close enough, it would be sucked into it and ripped to pieces. The closest one lies just 1,600 light-years from Earth on the way to the center of the Milky Way in the direction of the constellation Sagittarius.

Not likely that we would find out in our lifetime even if they have - it would take thousands of years to get there and any energy source it had would be depleted -

This is all what humanity have achieved until now in long distance exploring by space crafts...they are hopeless to explore black holes:

No they are much to far away to reach.
