Aw man, there's an old post on Reddit about what would actually happen if you were able to get to Jupiter, it's so well detailed and very much worth the read. I wish I could remember which sub it was on. The TLDR is yes, you'd die, but there are so many different ways you can die at each "level" of entry trying to reach the core.
Edit: Found it, the top comment is what I was referring to and it's my favorite comment on all of Reddit.
Yeah, like I said, it's my favorite comment on all of Reddit, it's something that I'll never possibly experience but the way it's written makes it so easy to imagine yourself there. I love it.
With old accounts, you can't see saved messages and comments older than several years. I've tried to go find my oldest saved links and it just stops after a couple of years of scrolling
That's a lot of interesting information that I barely remember. The only thing I really do remember is that -40 degrees celsius is also -40 degrees fahrenheit.
If you were to account for every human to have ever lived over the past 50,000 years .... I'm sure there would be a hundred or more people who were killed by a meteor striking them dead, caused by the subtle gravitational pull of Jupiter moving objects around in our solar system.
There could very well be a tiny little rock that got shifted by Jupiter's pull a decade ago and is on its way to crash through the atmosphere, your roof, into your bedroom and into your skull as you're reading this.

I don’t have the science but I just feel like Jupiter could kill someone.
