  • NICE..

  • NOT a nice place to visit.

  • @unknowndest

    floating citys support by balloons by using light gasses. Yes that works great on venus. Make alot of such marvels and we can block out the sun from venus, then we can finally cool it down:P

  • @eepruls And then of course there's the heat and pressure that's WAY more than on Earth. Some microbes can take a lot, but not that much.

  • @unknowndest Wouldn't the vapourized sulfuric acid in the atmosphere destroy them before they even got a chance to start eating? If the acid can eat through steel, I doubt blue-green algae would survive.

  • that was my theory i told my friends about

  • (2) → would start raining in the upper atmosphere, cooling down the atmosphere even further and in time the rain would reach the ground. I think it is a plausible idea since there is organisms (extremophiles) capable of living in extreme conditions (in our way of seen it) and releasing them in an environment that is rich in what they sought the most could be feasible experience.

  • (1) In my teen years I read an article, almost sure from Sagan, saying that it was possible to cool down the planet Venus by bombarding and loading its upper atmosphere with blue-green algae which are very resistant and ferocious devourers of carbon-dioxide. As it multiplied and consumed the upper layers, it would naturally release oxygen, continuously falling to the layers bellow in the process and with less and less carbon dioxide the heat entrapment would continuously decrease,→

  • NAH AHH!

  • thx you'll be in my bibliography for my project!!!!!!!
