      I’ll really prefere the cloud on venus ! In fact it’s the most viable solution for the moment, it could be a first step for the ‘multiplanetary developpement’. Moreover, it can be the ‘factory’ of the solar system where we can build all the stuff needed for a dyson sphere. Because with that altitude the cost to lunch a rocket would be less important and we are more close of the sun. And why not orbiting the asteroid around venus to operate the ressources just near to this new ‘factory’ ?

      That said as space project, when it come to mining, production of necessities Mars seems much easier to work with. Venus might be dependand on outside sources. So this what I would put money into...

    Everything would have to be brought to Venus. There are considerable in-situ resources on Mars for utilization that can result in a self sustaining colony. Sometime in the far future Venus can be terraformed if we can get the rotation issue resolved. However, I see Saturn's moon, Titan, being terraformed before Venus.

And titan will NEVER be terraformed its NOT in the HABITABLE ZONE and you CANT change the temperature and the only problem besides gravity there is temperature although it will be solved by itself(and that means its not terraforming its anatural process) when sun expands and heats it up making it habitable for a few hundred million years that is 3+ BILLION years later. Venus on the other hand we cant change the rotation of the planet to earth-like speeds to think thats possible for us to achieve someone must have no common sense or knowledge what we need to do to terraform venus is actualy bring it hydrogen and release genticaly engineered bacteria that can suevive acid so by living there they take carbon from the atmosphere and as the bacterias multiply some will fall to surface but the carbon on them wont be released back in to the air so gradualy (given we brought enough hydrogen so bacteria can use it) co2 will diminish and all we have to do while this happens is bring hydrogen to venus so bacteria can use it and watch the bacteria do its thing over the years and we will be left with 3 bar nitrogen atmosphere and a earth-like planet. Only time constarint here is our ability to bring hydrogen to venus bacteria will do its thing extremely fast

      Mars terraforming wouldn’t be possible , the gases would just release into space and with no dynamo life would perish from radiation . It requires too much effort . It’s much better I think, to hollow out an asteroid and live inside . Venus is the same it has a magnetosphere but caused by its thick atmosphere,it also has no dynamo . And it’s spin needs to be faster which can only be caused by a meteor impact and that is dangerous . Overall it would take thousands of years to terraform and humanity doesn’t have that kind of long range thinking . I think in the future we’ll just be living underground on most bodies and inside asteroids .

    Rather than making it cooler. Might be an idea to heat the atmosphere even more. Cook the atmosphere off. Using solar powered satellites using radio, lasers, or microwaves or all. After lots of the atmosphere is cooked off. Turn off the satellites and the remaining atmosphere could cool. Then electricity on the surface could be generated by wind on the day and night side of Venus.

    Glad to see that Venus is still discussed as an option for colonization. Floating habitat at 50km and 1 atmosphere seems much easier to build and maintain than pressurized habitats in space or on Moon or Mars. There is no water on Venus, but sulfuric acid can be dehydrated to obtain water. Large amounts of energy can be obtained from the temperature difference between the cloud layers, much like ocean thermal energy conversion proposed for the oceans here on Earth. Large scale energy use on Mars is a serious problem without nuclear energy.

    I have often wondered at the similar masses and orbits of Earth and Venus and speculated regarding their wildly divergent atmospheric and geologic circumstances regardless of such factors.
    Comparatively slight orbital differences aside, it is possible that primordial Earth resembled Venus in most significant regards.
    But what if for example a huge cometary impact occurred on Earth but did not to Venus.
    What if the impact gave Earth it's 'tilt' or inclination relative to the Sun and slight wobble also so crucial to our seasons.
    Due to gyroscopic precession such an impact could also have pushed the Earth into the elliptical orbit it currently occupies and fractured the mantle/crust of the planet instigating tectonic activity.
    We now understand that a combination of those factors instigated periodic cyclical effects such as cooling resulting in ice ages and subsequent global warming.
    Since they result in such effects now then they must have also done so when they first began.
    We also know from fossil coral deposits that there were once more days in a year than in the present meaning that the planet used to have a faster rotation but something slowed it down considerably meaning at least two impacts imparted sufficient energy to our planet to alter its dynamics.
    Tidal influences exerted by the Sun on Earths structure due to an elliptical orbit could contribute sufficient heating not only to sustain Earth's molten core but enable existence of the magnetic field so vital to protecting the planet from solar radiation.
    Progressive instigation for that magnetic field as the planetary core became hotter could explain one or more 'polar reversals' known to have occurred during the planets history.
    Such a combination of events combined with a prolonged 'nuclear winter' effect created by massive quantities of dust introduced to the upper atmosphere could, have resulted in permanent net reduction to atmospheric temperature within vacillating parameters we are currently experiencing for the first time.
    The ratio of specific minerals determined by relatively recent analysis of relevant deposits indicates that at some stage in its history Earth was subject to massive and prolonged volcanic activity.
    If, the postulated low density but substantial volume of a cometary mass was large enough, was traveling at significant velocity on just the right vector and was comprised largely of water ice and possibly even frozen oxygen as many comets probably are, particularly if they formed in and were displaced from the Oort cloud.
    Then temperatures prevalent at the time of and subsequent to such an impact could probably result in tremendous quantities of vaporized water becoming high altitude clouds taking vast quantities of heat with them.
    By calculating the energy and vector requisite to moving a planet with the mass of Earth from a circular to elliptical orbit while contributing the planetary tilt, it should be possible to approximate the requisite mass for such a comet and therefore the volume of water it would have to contain.
    Clouds have a high albedo which means they reflect a large proportion of solar energy particularly in frequency ranges which contribute warming effects, that would also enhance cooling of the planet eventually resulting in water vapor condensing into liquid and falling as rain.
    If, all this eventually cooled the Earth sufficiently for simple forms of life and possibly, even life present within such a comet to proliferate.
    Then metabolic processes inherent to that life might have progressively sequestered vast quantities of atmospheric carbon dioxide as prolific deposits of 'fossil' hydrocarbon and other carbon deposits such as graphite, calcium carbonate and carbide, methane and natural gas along with many others present in Earth's crust.
    At the same time it might have liberated the oxygen currently present in Earth's biosphere as well as covalently bound in minerals and other compounds.

      Istvan, you made me curious, so I listened again to the last half:
      "...the pressure is more or less equal to that on Earth."
      "...way more stuff than we could ever move from Earth to Venus..."
      "...we would have much more control over Venus rovers than what NASA can do from the Earth to Mars."
      "...badly screwed here on Earth, before we get anywhere else..."
      "...why the atmosphere of Venus is such a runaway greenhouse compared to the Earth's"
      "...understand why it developed so differently than Earth."
      If it makes you feel better, I feel I could swap most of these without major problem too.
      In general, if you want a systematic answer, I would guess a major reason why this happens for the Earth, and not other planets, is that uniquely for the Earth there is potential for confusion between the planet, and the stuff the planet is made from, Earth (dirt.)
      If you say "the Earth" it may be more clear that either you are talking about some dirt referred to earlier, or the planet. And if there was no dirt referred to earlier, it will be very clear it is the planet. So it is a tool to make it clear you are talking about the planet, and not dirt, in cases where that might not be clear.
      Since the context is quite clear here he can use it either way, and falls back to habit.
      Most uses of "the" may be a variation on this potential to distinguish something specific, which just becomes habit when there is no need to distinguish. For instance the link below suggests use of the article for places in English has a weak association with specification, specification of a part of, or greater whole, but is mostly habit too.

    Mars, by far. Being stuck in the clouds of Venus (in a blimp or whatever) would be no better than being stuck in the clouds of earth or anywhere else. Even though Mars isn't the friendliest place, you can walk around on the surface and explore the planet.

      I agree, we are humans and designed to walk on a solid surface. I be we can build great habitats on Mars over time. But it will be quite challenging to live on Mars. It will be almost like living on the South pole during a mid winter storm.

    If you freeze the atmosphere with a sunshade, you have to expend a lot of effort to get it out of the gravity well.
    What if you went the other way, and used a swarm of power collectors in low sun orbit (or even just mirrors) to focus a crap ton of power beams on Venus in order to blast the atmosphere away into space? Basically speed up the rate of atmospheric erosion that's already happening due to the lack of magnetic field.

    How about neither? A miscalculation or failure of buoyancy above Venus would be it. A loss of some resource (air?) or protracted dust storm or harsh season would be it on Mars. Strangely enough, there's a much closer world that has unlimited solar power free, shelter in the form of its surface material, and the priceless proximity to Earth for rescue, supply or simple rotation of crew...And at a fraction of a fraction of the cost or time to complete...i.e. the Moon...

    I think the real problem with colonizing Venus is raw material problem: one reason why NASA decide to build manned research station on Mars because they have access to the soil and dust on mars, which can be used as construction materials for colony and other buildings. On Venus, however, you can't mine anything because you can't even get to the planetary surface, you'd have to either bring all your construction materials with you, which is very expensive, or you have to figure out how to use CO2 and sulfuric acid to make construction materials.

    The problem with Venus is access to material. With Mars you have an accessible surface and two small moons to provide the elements for building materials, life support and fuels. Since the Venusian surface is not accessible due to the thermal and atmospheric extremes, you have to cart all your materials in from elsewhere. I suppose Mercury or Earth's moon might be better candidates for this than Earth due to its shallow gravity well, but it's still a far cry from Venus having its own moon, which of course it does not have.

    venus colonization would be great if we could learn to produce graphene or other useful materials from starch, and fully automate the process.

If we can make this fully automated, we can just plop a few of these throughout the atmosphere and then in a decade or so we'll have a whole bunch of ready-made balloons floating around ready for humans, full of oxygen and potatoes

Sure go to Mars, Venus, Europa and the rest but let's please keep our only current home in order too!

    First Humanity needs some serious space mining (asteroids, Moon) and large space stations. That could solve both issues with radiation and low gravity of Mars or lack of mineral resources on Venus. Then both Mars and Venus colonies could really take off. Before that I see only small outpost on Mars and minimal scientific outpost on Venus (blimp more likely).
    Venus is better in all things except you cannot really mine anything other than rocket fuel, carbon and energy. At least not without brute-forcing some sort of mining solution which would involve active cooling and might go beyond space hooks or space fountain. Basically scooping the material from the surface or building a base on the hellish surface (pump the excess heat into stratosphere maybe).

    Big cloud project :
    You can make/produce a( thick harmless) giant cloud above Africa/ deserts ( covering it all), it can decreasing 30% of heat, or more .
    Thermos project :
    You can make giant thermos in deserts , building cities inside it , but filling its walls with air( not with vacuum),that is easier , important is to be the dark/ shadow between two walls of giant thermos,that is sufficient , is it not necessary to make vacuum inside the walls of thermos , but is sufficient be /set the dark/shadow between two walls of thermos, that is sufficient to create a cool area inside the thermos( without vacuum),( similar things ), so it is giant thermos almost( it is not exactly a thermos).
    Hole project :
    You can dig/ pierce make make a giant hole inside ( under of surface of deserts building many cities/neighborhoods inside it( like giant thermos inside it ) , it would be cool weather( normal temperature )there , ( under the surface)
    Floating islands( project) :
    You can choose/ find positions on ocean's surface which has normal temperature ( cool weather) and build floating islands there . There is a lot of surface there.

    Venus although closer had to many more hurdles, developing tech to float a habitat that won't corrode from the acidic atmosphere, and that wouldn't be to taxing on life support systems. Because when it falls you'll suffocate, while boiling, get crushed by the atmosphere, and melt into a puddle of goo boiling on the surface. And there's no scooping that up.
