    Leaving earth to find new homes in space is an old dream of humanity and will sooner or later be necessary for our survival. The planet that gets the most attention is Mars, a small, toxic and energy poor planet that just about seems good enough for a colony of depressed humans huddled in underground cities.
    But what if we think bigger? What if we take Venus, one of the most hostile and deadly places in the solar system and turn it into a colony? Not by building lofty cloud cities, but by creating a proper second earth? It might be easier than you think.

      @J Silva yes something like multiple fission bombs that cool the planet quickly and secondary
      waves that eats CO2 and converts to oxygen such as modyfied stubborn algae. The solar blocking part is also a doable idea since not much material is needed and can help control temperatures. That can probably cut time by several centuries.

      @@WhiteWolfos The nuclear bombs are analogous the the mirror, they just block sunlight. They wouldn't work as well on Venus because the atmosphere is already incredibly dense, and not much of the debris from the explosion would be able to block sunlight. Earth would only cool from a nuclear weapon because of what it was able to destroy, whether that be a city, or forest, or caused fires that continued to burn down more things, it is really only the massive amounts of smoke and gas from that which causes the earth to cool because it blocks sunlight. The mirror is the most effective way of doing this.
      I think an actual plausible idea they may have not realized was that you can begin terraforming with bacteria pretty early on, in the upper atmosphere of Venus. This could mean making huge balloons that carry large amounts of water filled with cyanobacteria to begin removing CO2 even before the planet has cooled on the surface. You could also just introduce a GMO cyanobacteria to the clouds of Venus themselves. I'm not a chemist or a biologist, so I cant really say this would be entirely possible as they may be issues with reproduction of the bacteria, or the acidic environment in the clouds may just be too great even for a heavily modified cyanobacteria.

    There’s this game called TerraGenesis that allows players to terraform planets, I’m currently working on Venus myself and the options for removing most of the atmosphere that I used were the sequestration plant and bio fixture labs that turned the co2 into c and o2 and removing the atmosphere allowed most of the heat to escape from Venus as well, at one point the bio fixture labs were putting too much oxygen into the atmosphere so I used a hydro generator which combined some of the oxygen with hydrogen to create water, which I eventually stabilized to the point that plants could grow, so we started with the nitrogen fixing microbes so we could add plants that could sustain humanity and any other creatures that I will add in the future, and it only took 500+ years in game.
    Edit: it was Not 500 odd years, it was 3500-4000 years, in game, I’m not an immortal being
    Edit from 7 months in the future, I have terraformed the moon, Venus, mars and am currently working on Io which is a moon of Jupiter that has ice oceans underneath it’s surface, I haven’t played in months so now was a good time to come back to it

      ​@@dubbyy_ amounts of nitrogen on earth & venus are the same, there's no reason to remove any from Venus
      Amounts of carbon and oxygen on earth & venus are the same, the difference is just that they're in gaseous form on venus. Removing anything screws the whole planet up! It was once earth like, to make it earth like again, we just need to add back the hydrogen that is light & has drifted off into space & then put the CO2 back into it's solid C & H2O forms & leave some of the oxygen free in the air.
      Or to put it another way, if we build cloud cities there now with our current tech & retain all waste from all plants/crops we grow as charcoal or carbon fibre, then pretty soon the terraforming will begin happening anyway & the cloud cities that naturally float at the habitable altitude of earth like pressure & temperature, will slowly begin to float lower & lower until they touchdown on the surface & with the addition of hydrogen from a gas giant, we can make oceans with the excess oxygen.
      Not that we would want to terraform anyway, since the planet takes 8 months to complete a single day cycle, so 4 months of dark, whereas in the clouds the winds act as artificial rotation giving a 4 earth day cycle & unlimited solar & wind power, with an always on industrial high pressure furnace below that we can lower things into to cheaply & easily create carbon fibre, diamonds etc etc without needing any fossil fuels to do it
      This video's just ridiculous with it's removing CO2 in it's heaviest form before importing H2O in it's heaviest form & then ignoring that once the carbon's gone the forests aren't even possible, while it both exported & imported oxygen for no reason!

      Our main operations in space are going to be around mining resources, until we're capable of harvesting solar to a level that we can send missions outside our solar system- but when you're talking that far ahead you're talking about meta-advances that mean it's impossible to really focus on what that time will really look like.

      @0 FQuartz 0 Mass drivers aren’t realistic. Even without an atmosphere, the escape velocity of mercury is 4.3 km/s. This is a minimum velocity. These speeds can’t realistically be achieved in tubes consistently, their is too much power demand, not to mention friction and accurately launching mass onto another planet.

    The greatest barrier to this kind of project isn't lack of imagination. It's not even insufficient technology. It's the fact that someone would have to invest massive resources for centuries in a project that would only bear fruit at the very end. It's nearly impossible to find either a state or a private organization which would be willing to do so. Our problem as a species is that our scope of planning generally doesn't extend past single lifetime (and even that is rare - two or three decade projects are considered long term) and since we are a collection of individuals who have every incentive to take advantage of what we have during the one life we get to experience, it's extremely hard to convince people to deny things to themselves, their children, their grandchildren and their grand-grandchildren for the sake of a future they'll never get to see. Maybe if one day average lifespan is drastically increased...
