Venus is the most similar planet in our solar system to earth in terms of physical parameters such as mass size density, mass and size. If Were not for the extremely high temperature, surface pressure, and atmospheric composition, humanity could have an Earth-like planet orbiting the same star within a maximum distant of 40 million kilometers, and the thought is extremely fascinating.

[@themidcentrist]

It would be great if Mars was the second planet and Venus was the fourth. Venus would probably be more habitable than mars if it was in that position since having much less of a greenhouse effect would allow Ice / Water to exist and an atmosphere that while maybe not breathable could be useful. Humans might be able to go outside without a pressure suit and in the middle of summer the temperature could even be comfortable.

Fun fact: A venus suit would cost about 1 trillion dollars, and look like a deep sea diving suit for immense pressure. It would need to be built out of titanium.

I will do it from carbon and we will use ps5 joystick to control it. It will be a huge success.

What? The existing deep sea diving submarine, DSV Limiting Factor has been tested down to 20,000 psi and cost less than $100 million to build. The atmospheric pressure on the surface of Venus is about 1,350 psi. And we have material that's impervious to sulpheric acid.

This one is about the size of a School Bus, will have actual video cameras on board to stream live videos back to earth, and is expected to last for over a month 😲

It seems that in 1943 when C.S. Lewis’ wrote his fascinating short novel, PERELANDRA (his alternate title for VENUS) that planet‘s atmosphere was so thick that all sorts of speculations were made regarding its surface, oxygen, fresh water other attributes. Nice to imagine this view but even then I suspect more was really known about Venus & that Lewis was just being imaginatively fanciful. Still reading this wonderful story really places you vividly in Ransom’s (the main character‘s) complex situation & I indeed remain intrigued that PERELANDRA could have been really be the way Lewis envisioned it. In any case, reading PERELANDRA motivates me to seek out the other two books in this trilogy.

[@efnissien]

Venus though is our best option for terraforming, it has a thick atmosphere some of which could be condensed into seas. Gravity is roughly 81.5% of earths and it's the closest planet to earth. We'll need to make a magnetosphere, possibly by the dynamo effect (since Venus has no moons, using a captured large asteroid or cluster of asteroids to add extra 'spin' and cause the planetary core to rotate creating a magnetic field.) to boost the weak magnetic field and seed the planet with Co2 hungry bacteria.

[@bludkovic]

real! been there few times exactly the same as he explained

[@aktiveuniverse6958]

If we could figure out how to speed up planet rotation speed. Venus can be terriformed. Increase the rotation speed even if it's turning in the opposite direction of Earth's rotation, and venus will cool down. Right now, it's rotating so slow. That it's on a slow Rotisserie wheel.😢 Slow down Earth's rotation and it will end up being just like Venus. 😮

[@Despond]

Earth will have no liquid water on it's surface in about 500mill years nor it's protective magnetic field. We'll get there eventually don't worry. You have to try and just imagine or project your mind to realize it's going to happen, and it's basically already happen because the moment you die, time is linear and every event and second after your entry to non-existence is instant. I hope the make sense, it's harder to explain.
