      Hi Bill,

      as Jupiter is a gas planet, landing could be problematic, Jupiter is mainly composed of Hydrogen. The planet is max 600 million miles from earth, and it depends on the route you take(and the current location towards earth) how long the flight will take, the record time is 13 months!
