Oh heck yes,

a lot can happen "in thousand years".

Imagine they can have all kinds of space stations which syphon the gases (or mine asteroids etc,)...and then simply sending those ships back to Earth, into orbit where it can be collected. This is VERY reasonable to think about and not too far off, IMO.

Great idea, But i think by the time we could even concider this a posibility our race would most likely be past the need for a combustable fuel source.

Not crazy at all...I've thought for some time now that some day we will realize what the other planets can be used for. Personally I thought we somday would "ignite" Jupitor...for what ever reason.

jupiter is among the top 2 reasons we have this solar system, without it we'd either get flung into the sun and if we're lucky flung into emptyness

+ energy will be free in the future, if not then i dont think we moved into the future

lmfao

hopefully we will sort our act out but the way things are going this seems hard, before we are able too do this we also need too master space travel and make some kind of extraction machine,in hinesight this is a great ide however we should also think about how we can make it possible

I highly highly doubt we would ever tape it, and especial not with a pipe line lol


Its a great idea for now, but technology will develop way before we ever get our act together a be one so to speak, IE NWO,

I think by that time we will be using technology such as zero point energy (anti-gravity) which is alot more efficient & plentiful, we will no doubt one day terraform Mars & mine planets in our solar system for gold & oil, i still think there will be a demand for oil once our technology is based on free energy tech as we need it for all sorts of products and maybe the super rich will still own a few vintage cars /toys

if we could not carve out big chunks of frozen methane from our outer solar spinning neighbors and ship it back closer to homeworld then maybe we could turn jupiter into the universes largest helium laser and kill ourselves and everything with that.

Ok I know this sounds a little out there but Jupiter is mostly made from hydrogen and helium, and those can be used as fuel, so maybe one day we can syphon the gas from the planet and use it for fuel, either here on earth or on moon bases etc.
Possible? not yet but could it happen?

Think of it as a giant off shore oil platform in space drilling for gas.

It came to me in a dream and I thought wow good Idea.

I think it is a great idea, but then, being a Sagittarius, Jupiter is my ruling planet, and, from the size, the God of all the other planets. I tease my son about this all the time, he is a Scorpio, his ruling planet is little Pluto. Of course there are armchair math professors in here that will tell you Hydrogen cannot be used as fuel.

I have read and heard that jupiter almost became a star,but it was'nt large enough,so jupiter is a failed star.
