    Here’s an idea, harvest the CO2 from Venus’ atmosphere and ship it to Mars for plants to use it and convert it into oxygen for a breathable atmosphere. Keep doing this until the Martian and Venusian atmospheres have reached acceptable pressures for human habitation. Once Venus’ atmosphere has reached the right pressure and temperature, start planting.

    I think most people would agree that we should be certain there is no existing life on a planet before we terraform it. But can we be certain there is no life on Venus? No organism we are aware of could survive the tremendous heat and pressure on Venus, but does that mean nothing could? The problem is that the heat and pressure would make it all but impossible for us to search the surface of the planet for signs of life. If we can't be sure, should we terraform Venus?

    I never understood this idea of terra forming Mars because we need someplace to go when the environment one Earth ultimately shits the proverbial bed. One would assume that it would prove much easier to gain control of our own planet's environment and the few degrees in temp swing than it would be to literally have to create an entire environment on another planet. No?

      Absolutely. The other side of the coin is there is no denying that living on Mars will be miserable for the folks who go there. People forget that the bulk of the data points to low gravity causing myriad health and QOL issues over the long term. Imagine something like never having real sinus drainage being a part of everyone's life, all day every day. Everything from digestion, cardiovascular health, bone density, to your eyesight will see an impact. No thanks. Give me rotating habitats. At least I can put them where I want and enjoy a regular bowel movement.

      You could install tiny thrusters on each one, enough to keep it in place for a few hundred years, or you could just build a big laser on the planet, and push each one back into position every few decades. Or you could just accept that you need to renew the cloud by building a few replacements each year. These things are basically just metal foil that unfolds like origami, they're stupid cheap and simple and light.

    The truth is that neither Mars or Venus is a very good candidate for terrafoming, they're just the best the Solar System has to offer. Maybe if you could maneuver both of them into a collision somewhere between the current orbits of Earth and Mars (without upsetting the gravitational balance of the other planets) you might end up with a decent candidate in a few hundred million years. That would have the advantage of giving us some time to actually figure out how Earth's ecosystem works. Difficult to replicate something you have only a rudimentary and highly incomplete understanding of.

    I feel like space will mainly use analog tech because 1 its less energy inefficient & runs a lot colder as digital computer chips get really warm really quickly when you do things like watch a video in high definition or try to play a game like even old ones such as Halo CE & such you'll end up making too much heat & need a lot of cooling systems so I'd expect these to be rather uncommon things. Like even tablets & Labtops are pretty dangerous if you had every member of say a 100 person crew use them regularly for recreation since in space we only really have 2 forms of heat transfer conduction (which can be used to allow us to move warmth through coolants) & Radiation which is truly the only way to get rid of the warmth & convection doesn't really work when warm air doesn't rise & on a centrifuge you'd end up just getting the higher levels being pretty impossible to live in due to that. So you'd want to reduce unnecessary heat production likely using LEDs for all lights & keeping them in colder spectrums of light. You'd also likely not want to use touchscreens because they are really bloody annoying when you hands are slightly wet & often freeze up for no reason because of if something can go wrong eventually it'll go wrong so I'd guess you'd rather have proper buttons that can be relied on far more & only use screens on the bridge to show important data possible using tech like digital paper which can work cold until it needs to change the images. Basically you want to waste as little energy as possible whilst not creating heat too much.

    No organization, even the government ones, that I have worked for were truly meritocracies. It almost always boiled down to nepotism, favoritism, look-ism, and diversity-ism. Sometimes those who were supervisors where I worked did not have the bare minimum skill, ability, or motivation required to do their jobs. Sometimes merit wins out, sometimes its luck, but most of the time leadership positions will be filled by those favored for non-merit related reasons. Sadly the idea of a complete idiot managing to make the rank of 25 star general for the democratic order of planets does not surprise me. Zapp Brannigan will at some point exist in every futuristic military, the opposite of Napoleon (someone with experience and knowledge and merit). Every futuristic business with human beings will have at least one pointy haired boss who is clueless about anything that he is actually in charge of.

    Intelligence recognizes intelligence. But does it? Humans seem pretty reluctant to recognize non-human intelligence. For a long time we claimed to be the only species that could talk, even though animals were communicating with each other using complex sounds all around us. We were just to arrogant to recognize that as speech (and assumed that because we couldn't understand what they were saying, they weren't saying anything). Even with parrots literally speaking our own language to us, we discounted that as them just mimicking our words (which is how human infants learn to talk). It wasn't until some scientists studied them and discovered (that thing which parrot owners have always known) that parrots make and use tools that they conceded that they actually were intelligent creatures. If we struggled so hard to recognize the intelligence of talking, tool using, tool making creatures who live among us, I'm not so sure that the claim "intelligence recognizes intelligence" holds up.
