Some of the replies I've seen here seem to imply that I want to chemicaly
burn the atmosphere. I really meant to use the hydrogen in Jupiter's atmosphere
as fuel for several fusion reactors. So to the person who suggested that I
take some chemistry, why don't you take some physics. Unfortunately on Venus
the gasses there do not fuse easily at all, but they do on Jupiter. That's why
I picked Jupiter.
