Nobody can answer that question today. Thats one to be answered well into the future first by pointing out that we have to be able to first get there. If we can do that, it may well be possible but the next question might be, why? As it stands right now, nobody in the space business I'm aware of even seriously thinks humans will go into Jupiter or Saturns atmospheres.<br /><br />I expect on a planet at .13 au from Rigels surface, that it would be extremelly hot and bright. The planet would be tidally locked at that distance so there would be a perpetual night side as well. But even that would be hot due to lack of atmosphere, and an atmosphere would have boiled away if it ever got the chance to form at all under those conditions. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><strong>My borrowed quote for the time being:</strong></p><p><em>There are three kinds of people in life.
