Although it would depend on your objective, Mars would generally be more suitable. Ganymede has far less gravity, far more ambient radiation (almost 8 rems a day), and is far colder.

Is it possible to live on Jupiters moon ganymede?

Ganymede is very cold, and has a very thin atmosphere. It would not be possible to live there without a protective environment. However, WITH a protective environment and enough power, there would be no problem living there. This would be similar to the habitats that have been proposed for the Moon and for Mars. Aside from the great scenery of watching Jupiter in the sky, I'm not sure why anyone would WANT to live there.

There is no colony on Mars and no space shuttle will be traveling to Mars. There is a robotic probe on Mars. No human being has ever been there. At the present time (2013) it is impossible to say if any human being ever will go there. Certainly some people would liketo go there. But no trips are scheduled.
