What would you need to live on Jupiter?

Answer 1

You would need plants, water, food, and every thing to live there. You would need some kind of life. And venus ould have to be away from the sun, it would have to move to the 5th planet in the universe, since it so close.

Answer 2

Nothing you can take to Jupiter will help you live on it.

Jupiter is one of the most inhospitable planets known to mankind. It will never be colonised or lived on. Here is why:

• Jupiter is a gas giant. It has no solid surface to stand on. You'll sink into the planet and be incinerated by the molten core.
  
  
• Jupiter is extremely stormy. Storms with wind speeds in excess of 2,000 MPH are a permanent feature of Jupiter. In these winds there are pieces of debris like rocks and ice. Anything in its atmosphere, like a human or a colonising space craft would be shredded to pieces in seconds, before you can even say "woops".
  
  
• Because of the constant storms, sunlight rarely gets through the atmosphere due to the dust and debris in it. That means no food will grow and you will not be able to recharge batteries and rovers with solar power, the main power source space colonists will rely on for a long while (aside from the fact that no plants or rovers will exist on the planet due to the lack of surface anyway).
  
  
• Hydrogen and helium are plentiful in the atmosphere. Mixing oxygen into the atmosphere (ie if a human space colony begins leaking oxygen) will present an opportunity for a massive and catastrophic explosion. Mixing this with the high wind speeds on Jupiter, the gas giant will probably become a second sun in our solar system, causing problems back home on Earth.
  Jupiter is actually referred to as a "failed sun". It has the same elements as our sun, but it has not been ignited. If Jupiter was to become a second sun, life on Earth might not have been possible. This is one major reason that, if humans COULD colonise Jupiter, they WON'T, because the risks of the extinction of the human race are too high if the planet gets ignited.
  
  
• Jupiter is packed full of radiation.
  Let's say that if it did have a surface for humans to land on and colonise (which again, it doesn't)- plants still would not grow in the irradiated surface and humans would die off from radiation poisoning.
  

Nothing you will take to Jupiter will allow you to survive on it. It is an extremely volatile gas giant.

However it might be possible to build an orbiting space colony above Jupiter, a long enough distance away to avoid being shredded by space debris flung from the planet by the storm. However such a colony would be uneconomical, because Jupiter serves no economical benefit to humanity (other than the gasses in the atmosphere, which due to the storms we will never be able to harvest).
