They Want To Terraform Jupiter

There have been many discussions, and some that have progressed pretty far in regards to terraforming other planets.  That entails trying to manipulate a planetery environment so that life could flourish and make it more like earth.  So, how about Jupiter?

So just what would it take to terraform Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system?

In fact, it might even be easier than terraforming Mars or Venus, as long as you keep a steady flow of gas to the Moon replenishing the constantly escaping atmosphere.

Jupiter is a ball of hydrogen and helium, which compresses these gasses to almost starlike temperatures and pressures. Fine, Jupiter is the absolute worst. It makes traveling to Venus look like a spa visit.

If nothing else this is fascinating.

Let’s check out more and watch a video on how this could be done on page 2

    They can’t terraform earth (fix the damage they caused), so no. I don’t know what the opposite of Terraform would be in one word but that’s all “they” are good at. TerraWreck? TerraDestroy?

    We can fix the damage, we have to stop doing it first. As for terraforming Mars is the best option.it it will never happen on Jupiter

    Agreed. How the he’ll do you terraform a gas giant? I’ve heard of thoughts on igniting it into a second sun but never terraformed.

    Not to mention the ungodly storms the terrorized the planet. That black spot btw is a hurricane that has been there since they discovered the planet.

    Radiation emissions, gravity and a magnetic field that would pull most things to pieces. Oh yeah…it does seem to be a gas giant. Headline pulled from a cartoon

    We could never survive in that extreme gravity. We aren’t even close to understanding how that gravity would effect us on the moons if Jupiter.

    I’ll take my chances here on earth. Nit to mention its a gas giant so its gravity would pull you back and forth until you pretty much level out in the center, welcome to the maximum security prison madw by nature, $#%&!@*uming we somehow were not m$#%&!@*ively crushed by its gravity. Prison planet!

    For us primitive humans, of course it is impossible to terraform a giant gas ball. But, for other civilizations beyond our understanding which are extraterrestrials or possibly extra dimensional that are millions of years ahead of us in terms of knowledge, understanding quantum mechanics dimensional travel and many other things that are beyond our comprehension or understanding I say, to them anything and everything is possible

    The funny thing is no one but the author mentioned terraforming the bullet point was that it might have a solid center

    I’m almost 100% certain that it’s a gas giant with a super hot plasma core due to gravity….how would you possibly terraform that…?

    If we could, ever wonder how that will effect the rotation of the solar system?? The suns gravitational pull on all the planet? It might just swing all the planet into space?? Or pull them n closer? Slow down the orbit? Speed it up? We’re better off sending people to mars or look for a planet like earth.
