“In the 1970s, Carl Sagan collaborated with fellow astrophysicist Ed Salpeter to design life-forms with plausible evolutionary histories for long-term survival in the roiling clouds of Jupiter. Among them were “floaters,” vast hydrogen blimps pumping helium and heavier gases out of their interior to retain only the lightest gas, hydrogen.”
