Mars is probably doable in my lifetime. Jupiter will come centuries later, if ever. Its moons might be doable, but I don't see how Jupiter is, as it has no surface. I can't imagine what kind of rocket it would take to escape Jupiter's gravitational pull if we could land there, nevermind dodging asteroids for the years-long ride to get there.
