Far-Fetched Fusion Reactor?

[chriswight]

Hello. This is my first post, and it's an odd one.

 

Question: is the planet Jupiter a natural fusion reactor like the Sun? And if so, how might it be used to power an orbital space colony. Yes, I know this is so far in the future that it might as well be never. But still...

 

As you might assume, I am not a natural scientist. Just a computer programmer with a big immagination.

 

Many thanks,

 

Chris

Welcome to Hypography. I do not myself know the answer to these questions, however, you've come to a good place to find such answers. Enjoy your stay. ;)

 

 

Cheers. :cup:

Please be advised that I re-posted this question in "Physical Sciences -> Space" forum, for anybody interested in replying.

 

Thanks again,
