    I don’t get it. People think of Mars as particularly incluencial in the formation of the solar system?.. But they should of venus instead?

      Venus has CO2 air at 50km at same pressure as earth and has good protection from radiation. You could make tons of blimps, heat them up with solar energy to float make a small science colony.

      Downside is that it’s very weight limited because landing on a surface full of sulfuric acid is hard. The challenges are still there and Venus has it’s challenges but you could have people running around with oxygen tanks instead of space suits.

        How is this relevant to the formation of the solar system?
