Too much radiation for anything close to Jupiter. You will find life on Venus clouds and in Titan....

Everybody looking at the wrong targets. Mars is a dead, radiation cooked, burned, poisonous place. Forget about it, leave it to the trillionaires.

Europa's water is an excellent radiation shield.

I am not an astrophysicist, but I have read that the thick layer of ice is supposed to protect the miles-deep ocean against radiation, which might harbour life.
