Venus has so far been the most colonizable planet that we have discovered and ever since Carl Sagan proved that the atmosphere of Venus contains trace amounts of sulphuric acid, we have abandoned the idea entirely. Cloud cities are cities. Why has the scientific community has lost interest in our sister planet?

if you told me you live in a fucking cloud city i'd fucking kick your ass fucking pussy ass nerd bitch cunt
Lucas Ortiz
Cloud cities are the gayest shit I've ever heard of
Nolan Perez
We dont want faggot sci fi floating cities
We want another Earth
Which is why no worlds in our system are really interesting.
Easton Ramirez
Trace amounts of sulphuric acid?
No. The upper atmosphere is sulphuric acid.
Sulphuric acid, as in "kills 100% of all carbon based life forms".
Are you fucking kidding me?
Daniel Reyes
Because if our sun goes bad, sister planet won't help and colonizing mars will always be the more resource efficient option.

Send a bunch of carbon sponges that soak up sulfur
terraforming complete
Jacob Nguyen
Lol wtf
The rovers they sent there all .promptly collapsed in themselves
Nicholas Clark
That's not how terraforming works.
It's not even close.
And you can't just soak up sulfuric acid.
I don't even...
Seriously?
Is this Charles?
Charlies B?
This sounds like Charles B logic.
Asher Gray
How are you meant to construct anything there? The acid would fuck everything up.
Noah Rivera
I'm not saying they should.
I think the whole idea is dumb.
I don't think you think I'm on the side I am.
I don't know what you think that.

Wasn't the biggest deal about Venus the high temperature?
Luke Jenkins
Cloud cities. Oxygen is a lifting gas on Venus, so your habitats are also your lifting volumes.
The city just needs an exterior coating of anything that cannot be dissolved by sulfuric acid, like teflon for instance.
At 50km altitude, the air has the same pressure as sea level on Earth, and is around -20C.

>2016
>STILL falling for the planetary colonization meme
JUST
BUILD
SOME
COLONIES
IN SPACE
why trap yourself in a gravity well when you can build a self sufficient cities for millions at lagrange points?
Jordan Russell
But dem psychological effects of life in space, tho.
Ever see Battlestar Galactica? That shit be depressing.
Sebastian Anderson
What would a colony on Venus do to justify the massive expense in creating it?
You see, the problem with space colonization is that there is no economic return.
Charles Morales
Space colonies are for queers. Planetary bases or cloud cities are where the real action is.
Isaiah Rogers
It would be totally freaking awesome.
Andrew Lewis
We can't even build cloud cities on Earth.
I don't get the obsession with settling Mars/Venus when we can't even build large low-earth-orbit stations, floating atmospheric/deep-sea settlements, settlements on Antarctica, etc

the most gay word ever used by any faggot ever

>No. The upper atmosphere is sulphuric acid.
No. Trace amounts means trace amounts.

Fucking hell, I forgot about that meme for a moment and imagined a railway system out in space like a space elevator
