Nothing, except die from gas asphyxiation! Jupiter is what is known as a 'gas giant', that is, a planet that is made up not of solid material but of a combination of gases. It is the largest planet in the solar system, and as yet, no probe from Earth has been sent into it's inner regions to explore what lies beneath the gaseous clouds. It is two and a half times larger than all the other planets in the solar system combined, and there is an ongoing debate as to what it consists of. Some believe it to just be a massive ball of methane, helium and other gases all the way through, others contend that it may have a solid core that may consist of platinum, diamond or other rare substances. Still others have suggested that there may be clear areas of 'sky' between the clouds of gas, a bit like the layers in a sandwich, in which very primitive airborne organisms might live. However, the latter is unlikely.

Jupiter has several moons, the largest of which is called Ganymede and is considered to be a more likely candidate for the supporting of life than it's parent planet. Ganymede is covered in a thick layer of ice but beneath this, there may be liquid seas many miles deep which might harbour primitive marine organisms. A probe has been sent to drill through Ganymede's surface, but is not expected to get there until the early 2020's.
