what if life, like extremophiles live inside jupiter's clouds?

Have we really checked if there is life on gas giants, or are we just assuming there isn't because no life on earth could survive there?

There is no life in space. Aliens are non-existent like ghosts, god and unicorns.

It's possible, but liquid environments (especially liquid water) seem more likely from what we know of life so far.

Already a false statement.

Earth is in space and earth has life.

Nobody is assuming anything but the many billions of dollars a mission like that would take is not justified given the lack of other priority science goals. There are much higher priority missions with more realistic targets. Missions on this scale really are not being funded right now.

there is also no way to definitively test for life.

yes there is a possibility that there could be life within the atmospheres of said planets

however it would be verrrry difficult to notice them

We can see green plants from space, but that is only because there are billions and billions of trees standing right next to each other.

Even if there are life forms like the ones in ... 2010 A Space Odyssey (I think it was this one) it would still be really hard to see them unless we actually got INSIDE of the atmosphere. The things that Clarke wrote about were the sizes of cities.

When looking at that picture, remember that the great red spot is like... 4 or 5 earths across? Then think about how big cities are compared to Earth's surface, and there you have it.

It's entirely possible, just as possible as life was on Mars before we determined that there isn't any.

It's just that we don't have any way of seeing if there is any or not, at this point. It would be very difficult to get a probe into Jupiter's atmosphere, I'm pretty sure.
