Venus: the trouble with sending people there


Still Waters

Recommended Posts

Venus, often called Earth’s “evil twin” planet, formed closer to the Sun and has since evolved quite differently from our own planet. It has a “runaway” greenhouse effect (meaning heat is completely trapped), a thick carbon-dioxide-rich atmosphere, no magnetic field and a surface hot enough to melt lead.

Several uncrewed scientific missions will study how and why that happened in the next decade. But now some scientists want to send a crewed mission there as well for a flyby. Is that a good idea?

Not a desirable vacation destination.

Mercury, Venus, and Mars are all technologically feasible.

Venus would be the hardest for keeping a colony cooled. It would be akin to figuring out how to keep an object at room temperature inside an oven on full blast.

A fair amount of geo-engineering and we could make that planet a paradise for the rich and wealthy

Venus' atmospheric pressure is 92 times greater then that of Earth. There will never be a colony on the surface. Venera 13 lasted around 2 hours before being crushed as it melted. The others didn't make it an hour.

NCC1701 Venus doesn’t want the rich and wealthy and they don’t want Venus. They are looking to go Backwards to Mars. All evolving growing things move towards the Sun. The light of the World.

If that were true then wouldn't it also be true that a fair amount of geo-engineering could make the planet Earth a paradise for everyone?

Why wouldn't it be a good idea?  We need more crewed space missions imo.
