Well, not like you can do anything on Jupiter because it's all gas...
But colonizing Jupiter and building a space station is different.
You can't really say we've colonized space because we have the International Space Station can you?
Well, the space station they got there are colony types, similar to the ones they have in earth sphere.

i think we need to see what it would be like if we combine the primary idea of gundam, orbital frame, and macross. if anyone is pro enough to bring out a good sketch of the combined idea, i t-up you all the way to heaven! (we have kyrios from 00 season 1, having the macross-x-gundam resemblance)
Meh, there was Z and ZZ back in the days when MS transforms quite regularly, but the secondary forms are usually quite fugly (especially the Titan ones... *shudders*). Now, the non-canon but officially licensed Gundam mangas do have two neat designs, both from the book MS Generations.

Zaku Speed

Now, the GT-FOUR still retains the sci-fi blocky space fighter aesthetics of Gundam-verse aircraft that're just a major turn off for me (I think I used to make something similar when I was younger with Legos), and Zaku Speed never had official line drawings for a better look.
All in all, the two series is just all too different (ignoring orbital frame here on purpose... I see it as nothing more than a footnote in the history of Mecha in Anime) for a happy merger of the concept. Macross mechas are more highly fictional war machines (mass produced, standard load outs with minimal customization, etc), where as Gundam still features quite a bit of the classical super robot elements in its design and execution.
