Stargazing Better than Mars Colonization in many aspects.

    Mars Venus
AI Thread Summary
Venus is often overlooked in discussions about space colonization, with Mars typically taking precedence. However, some argue that Venus has comparable, if not superior, aspects for colonization. The challenges of colonizing Venus include its harsh surface conditions, which would be lethal to Earth-based life, requiring any potential life forms to exist in the atmosphere. The possibility of utilizing unique atmospheric chemicals for energy is mentioned as a potential avenue for survival. Overall, while Mars remains the focus, the complexities of Venus present intriguing possibilities for future exploration.

Venus is not at the top of the priority list when it comes to the colonizing of space. Mars mostly takes the top spot but when checked deeply, it is very comparable to Mars Colonization and in some aspects it is even better than Mars Colonization.

If we can't even deal with a little extra carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere, I'm not sure when we expect to get round to building cloud cities on Venus.
 
Our bacteria will probably colonize Mars before we people do.

The only bacteria that could hope to colonize Venus, would have to stay way up in the atmosphere (in cooler conditions) and hope to find some usable source to energy to keep them going.
This might be possible with all the weird chemicals and conditions available.
Surface conditions would be sterilizing to earthly life. Nothing would survive there.
Organic molecule would be broken down. Life on Venus would have to be life as we don't know it.
 
After redacting the spammy link by the OP, this thread is now closed. Good luck on Venus...
 

Thread 'Does it make sense to build new radio telescopes?'

TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...

Thread 'Our Beautiful Universe - Photos and Videos'

This thread is dedicated to the beauty and awesomeness of our Universe. If you feel like it, please share video clips and photos (or nice animations) of space and objects in space in this thread. Your posts, clips and photos may by all means include scientific information; that does not make it less beautiful to me (n.b. the posts must of course comply with the PF guidelines, i.e. regarding science, only mainstream science is allowed, fringe/pseudoscience is not allowed). n.b. I start this...
