species specialized to life on less hospitable worlds. Places like Jupiter
and Saturn might not be that bad. Just going there and leaving alive and
communication are not yet feasible. There may be non-organic devices able to
use novel communication means like X-ray generators able to pioneer/explore.>>
To my mind (or what passes for my mind) its kind of a fun idea to somehow,
convert areas of the Gas Giants, to earth-like, life zones. Alternatively,
these worlds could remain untouched, as you suggest, and there could also be
super-hardy types of critters that would enjoy the intense radiation, the the
-200º temps, and the sweet breath of frozen ammonia. Both of these ideas are
essentially fantasies, however they need not remain so.
