Will we ever be able to build a city in the skies? In Jupiter, perhaps...
Like Cloud City (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Cloud_City).... :D

I think Jupiter or Saturn would both be out, unless we made the city out of lead. Their magnetic fields put out so much radiation that we would be glowing in the dark within seconds.

If the "Unipod" was heavy enough and the "Sky City" itself is bouyant (or has something else keeping it up) enough, I suppose it could work. Its just who would invest in it?

I also bet they put the "Carbonite Freezing Chambers" in there just to make it sound cool.

Oh, and mikenostic, Magnetic fields do not produce radation, they actually repel radation from the sun. And why lead?
