The Galileo spacecraft is the only one to have actually entered an orbit around Jupiter, arriving in 1995 and studying the planet until 2003.
Jupiter's orbit would be at 19,352,000 miles (31,144,025 km).
Jupiter's moons orbited it and thus did not have a the earth as their axis of rotation.
Jupiter's strong gravity and immense size make it difficult for a spaceship to achieve escape velocity needed to overcome its gravitational pull. Additionally, Jupiter's thick atmosphere creates drag that further hinders spacecraft from leaving its orbit.
No, a spaceship cannot physically pass through Jupiter. The gas giant has a thick atmosphere made mostly of hydrogen and helium, with no solid surface to pass through. Attempting to fly a spaceship through Jupiter would result in the spacecraft being crushed and torn apart by the extreme pressure and intense storms.
Jupiter is a gas planet that was too small to become a sun itself. The fact that it is orbited by 67 natural satellites makes it similar to the solar system and its many orbiting satellites. The biggest difference is the light from Jupiter's moons comes not from Jupiter itself but from the sun it orbits.
No spaceship has landed on Jupiter. It is not possible as it is a gas planet. Apart from fly- past spacecraft, only Galileo has orbited it in 1975. It released a probe into Jupiter's atmosphere which was crushed and probably vaporized.

No human has yet orbited Jupiter.
You cant land on Jupiter, it has no solid surface on which to land.
Speedo's and lots of rings that orbited around his midsection.
The spaceship in 2001: A Space Odyssey is called Discovery One.
That will be the Juno space probe due to launch in 2011, reaching Jupiter in 2016.

The solar system has one central object, the sun, which is orbited by a large number of smaller objects, the planets, comets, etc. Jupiter is also orbited by a large number of objects, its satellites, which are much smaller than it.Because Jupiter has about 67 moons.
