      You could possibly go and orbit around Jupiter, but it is very far away so it would take you a long time to reach it (many years). At the moment we don’ t have ships that are capable of supporting human life for that amount of time.

      You couldn’t land on Jupiter though, it’s made of gas and isn’t really solid like our Earth. You also wouldn’t be able to breathe.
