What do you think about the bases on the gas giants?

[CrazyGreenPilot_RUS]

The buoyant force works not only from the liquids, but also from the gases. So how possible is to build bases on the level of gases with density equal density of the base? 

The density of atmosphere at the sea level on the Earth and on the Kerbin ~ 1.25 kg/m³ .

So if we need to reach the density level like water, we need to reach the depth when pressure is equal 800 atm.

What do you think about this? I think that it's impossible, because pressure must be 80000000 kPa, but the pressure limit for all details is only 4000 kPa.

And also it would be impossible to take off from this depth because pressure is unbelievable and I think that the atmosphere altitude would be about 1-3M KM.

P.S. That was written by Russian student that study in 8 class. Maybe I don't know some physics laws.

Are you talking about in-game, or real life?

800 atm.

= 8000 m of sea depth.

Accessible for a steel sphere of a bathyscaphe, but it should have thick walls, proportional to its radius and to the pressure, so its mass will be high, and its average density will be greater than the outside medium, so it won't float.

Take the sphere as a reference.

and the Russian wiki for more details

The 2 m sphere weights 12 t for the 1100 atm depth.
