Venus probably wouldn't be a good choice because of many factors such as the atmospheric pressure which is many, many times what it is on earth which would just crush stuff, the temperature which can rise above 800 degrees F and the fact that the clouds on Venus are mostly composed of sulfuric acid.
Mars is much more hospitable. |

The surface temperature of Venus is over 800F. Surface temperature of Mars far colder. I'd assume it's easier to create heat than to create cold.

Google Venus and get back to us regarding it's surface temperature which at the boiling point of lead, and its highly poisonous, corrosive atmosphere which is under crushing pressure.
There's a reason that space probes that enter the Venusian atmosphere or land on its surface only last for a matter of minutes. Venus is nothing at all like the Earth. Mars is the closest Earth analogue in the solar system. |

Quoted: Whenever people begin to talk about travel beyond the moon or "what to do next" in space the topic inevitably steers to Mars. Personally, I just don't get it. At least to me Mars has to be one of the least interesting of all the objects in our Solar System. Mars is small, barren, cold, lacking of atmosphere, and lacking of many interesting resources. As far as terraforming or possible colonization, I think we would have an easier time with Venus (Earth's sister planet). It is about the same mass as Earth so the gravity would feel more normal. It also has an atmosphere! Granted, it isn't something that you'd want to breath, but it is rich in Carbon Dioxide. That CO2 could be utilized by some forms exotic and hearty plant life. Eventually it could be converted into something breathable. There are many moons orbiting the gas giants that have interesting aspects as well. So I ask, why Mars? Is it just a matter of proximity? It is hilarious that you suggested Venus which means you don't really seem to know much about space exploration and the planets. No offense. Maybe if you did a little reading, you might realize why Mars is of great interest. Nevermind that conditions there were once suitable for life to exist. Venus is a veritable hell-hole. No man will likely ever set foot on it ever. Mars on the otherhand has the potential to be an outpost for humanity. The Universe is a great series you might want to try watching on the History Channel. It's pretty informative and talks about various things involving space, the universe, and the exploration of it. |

United Terraformers frowns on your shenanigans. Seriously, we could probably terraform Mars 80 times over for the cost and effort it would take to terraform Venus. That and we could establish a colony there right now with modern technology as long as we could cough up the cash to fund it, and astronauts could actually go outside in a pressure suit without seeing whether being smashed or melted kills them first within five seconds. Venus makes going to Dante's version of hell sound like a vacation. The next logical step after Mars is Titan, or if we can figure a good way to block radiation, Europa. Venus is something we're not going to be able to do much with until we have Star Trek technology, and maybe not even then. We could explore (and colonize if suitable places are found) Alpha Centauri, Tau Ceti, and Epsilon Eridani with a small fraction of the funds it'd take to even start work on making Venus habitable. |

That would take a lot of explaining…
Venus is much closer to the size of Earth. But it has a massively thick atmosphere that’s mostly CO2 with a bunch of other nasty stuff thrown in. The atmospheric pressure at the surface is so high that no human could ever live in it. In fact, we have trouble designing equipment capable of dealing with it. It would likely crush a modern military submarine. (Crush depths are classified so I don’t know for sure. But it’s way more pressure than the Navy claims our subs can take.) And there’s no way to realistically get rid of that atmosphere. And there’s precious little hydrogen or water on Venus. So we would need to import a lot of it if Venus were to ever be capable of supporting life. Venus also has no magnetic field, no plate tectonics, and a day that is a hundred times as long as one of our days. In short, it would take near godlike powers to transform Venus into a planet that was even remotely habitable. It wouldn’t be doable even with Star Trek levels of technology. (Not counting that Genesis device.) Terraforming Mars would be difficult too. But establishing colonies there wouldn’t be. There’s water there. Not an awful lot by Earth standards but enough for us to get by. Elements can’t be created in any meaningful volume so a planet must have certain elements if we are to live there. One of the most important is hydrogen. Without a source of hydrogen there are a whole lot of necessary industrial chemical reactions that we can’t do. Mars has a day that’s pretty close to ours. This is critical for growing crops. It’s cold and has a thin atmosphere. But it’s easier to deal with slight cold and low pressure than it is to deal with hot and an incredibly high pressure. Mars doesn’t have plate tectonics or a meaningful magnetic field either. This means that it really never could be teraformed the way some people want. But the habitats could be built to deal with the solar radiation. The truth is that Mars isn’t a good place, but it’s the only place for us to go next. |

Seriously though, the most cost-effective way as well as probably the speediest way to get to work on Venus would be to just build a huge-assed shield between it and the sun so it stops receiving sunlight. If we could do that, it would slowly radiate its atmospheric heat into space, and then most of that atmopshere would condense and rain itself onto the surface. Shielding a planet that's almost the size of Earth from the sun would be one seriously massive undertaking in its own right, though. |

Mars, for all its faults, is the most Earthlike of the other planets, plus it's the closest and easiest to get to. I've seen talk of terraforming Venus, going back for decades. IIRC they'd seed the atmosphere with algae or such to feed off the CO2 and convert it to oxygen. It would take a very long time, though, hundreds or thousands of years.
Here's something to consider: Mars is about half the diameter of Earth, and only has ~1/3 the surface area. But since Earth is 70% covered with water, the LAND area of Earth and Mars are about the same. That's a lot of real estate. |

The most compelling reason to go to Mars is that it has water in some form on it. The the first order of approximation, living on mars is a problem of building stuff that is airtight, and using the water to live off of. Venus as mention the first order of problem is surviving the hellish heat, current life times for things surviving there I think is less than a day.
The other interesting place to go is asteroids or the moon, there are trade off, but in both cases the driving problem is obtaining water, to support life. A rocket launch is currently to expensive to ship all the water need to support a human in the long term. |

Unless you're sitting in a lead block encased in water Jupiter's radiation will cook you within 15 minutes on Europa's surface. We need to come up with some kind of Star Trek-ish energy field that blocks harmful radiation before we can get serious about Europa. That or just put any settlement far enough under the ice. |

I think Mars is one of the most interesting planets actually.
It has an atmosphere, probably had liquid water, the seasons are similar as to Earth. Mars has the largest known mountain in the universe, and the largest canyon. Olumpys Mons is 16.7 miles high. Someone standing on the surface of Mars from anywhere would not be able to see the top of the mountain due to the planet's curvature. Standing on the highest point of its summit, the slope of the volcano would extend beyond the horizon, a mere 3 kilometers away. |

There was a recent show on the core of the earth on the Discovery Channel, the show showed that one of the main reasons that we have an atmosphere and protection through the radiation belt was that we have a planetary core that is active and moving. The show used Mars as an example as to what happens when a planet's core is not active but frozen like Mars. It was the producers belief that because the core was inactive and frozen the solar winds basically burned off the planets atmosphere. After watching the program I had to wonder if it would be possible to really terra form the planet as some suggest.

It has the potential of once supporting life and may still harbor life in a deep cavern. On top of that it has the potential for fairly easily being terraformed. We know how to warm a planet. Venus has a lot of CO2... AND I MEAN A LOT. The pressure at the surface is more than the pressure at the bottom of our deepest oceans. The temperature at the surface is enough to melt lead. One day is 243 earth days long... one year is 224 earth days long... that's right it goes around the sun once before it completes one day. It is nearly the same mass just .815 earth mass. Both plants are absent a magnetic field. The difference between the 2 is the mass... When Mars lost it's magnetic field the water disassociated and due to Mar's low mass it lost both the H and the O to space. When Venus lost it's magnetic field it's water also disassociated but due to it's higher mass it could hold onto the O and thus we get a massive atmosphere of CO2. Venus is what Earth will be when we too lose our magnetic field. It is about as close to hell as you're likely to find. |

Potential. Near term. Sure, I'd be more interested in a earth-like planet but there are none within reach using present technology. Colonization is imporatant to me so as we can have a second society in case this one fails. Perhaps a free society where people can go to if this one sucks badly enough.
