Don't be fooled by the terms liquid layers, ice and watery areas, liquid hydrogen and metallic hydrogen


Just because it's made of Gas doesn't mean it's a simple journey, think of our Sun ( it's also a ball of gas )

As you dive in deeper into somewhere like Jupiter the gravity is 3 times stronger, temperatures go from normal temps where a craft would survive up to incredible levels of 4,500 K and up to 11,000 K . Then we have our normal 1 bar pressure on Earth rising to 10, 500, and even 10 Million bars.

Nothing will live
