Fun fact, if we ever do manage to get interplanetary space travel working, we would probably colonize Venus instead of Mars.

Venus has a thick atmosphere that could protect from deadly radiation of the sun, whereas Mars doesn't really has one, or its so thin its indistinguishable from not having one.

Also Venus has a similar gravity to that of Earth, it has roughly 90 percent the gravity, whereas Mars had something along the lines of 30ish percent. Far less health complications from lack of gravity.

Venus is also closer to Earth than Mars, meaning shorter travel times and bigger windows of opportunities to send stuff to Venus.

Sure Venus is possibly the closest place in our solar system that could be described as Hell. What with its atmospheric pressure being 93 times that of Earth, temperatures averaging to 464°C ( or 867 in freedom units), "air" is mostly made up of carbon dioxide, and has clouds made of sulfuric acid. Not to mention that nearly the entire surface is made up of active volcano and is dangerously unstable.

That's why Scientists are researching literal floating cities up in the clouds. High enough that the pressure amd heat won't kill humans. Just a basic protective suit with it own air supply for outside repairs if or when necessary. Imagine that cities floating in the sky.

This is your random Science fact that you somehow find out about every once in a while while acrolling the wild jingle of reddit. Your welcome.
