stay on earth and make it less shit

also, the moon

also, just general orbiting space station habitats for the technocratic elite to live in while the pleb masses deal with the decline of the earths environment, thats a good couple hundred years off though

Hahah fair enough, but what if we could no longer stay on earth as a asteroid was hurtling towards it ,then what?

>>674893269
Not much of an option either way. Earth is our perfect jewel in the cosmos, no other planet will ever be a home for us because we didn't evolve there. Even with all the tech we can imagine, the inability to survive without the tech is what will be the downfall of colonization.

That all said, I believe Mars is the safer bet. We can't do fuckall on Venus, all projected theories speculate we'd probably need to have cloud cities on Venus for it to work. On Mars we can have subterranean cities that would be safer and easier to protect. Even entire caverns [if there are caverns on Mars] could be systematically sealed and reinforced to provide a large space for human population, farming, etc. Being on solid ground is a better bet than flying.

bump :(

well if you like skin cancer and dying venus

>>674893951
What about the gravity difference between earth and mars, its like 38% of earth's, wouldn't this have a huge effect on the population?

>>674893269
Venus, I love seing clouds of sulfuric acid in the morning

>>674894285
You wouldn't actually be living on the surface you know

>>674894132
Yes and it may cause problems in the long run. Humans on Mars would need to keep up a constant training regime using hydraulic lifting equipment to maintain their bone integrity and muscle mass. Weighted equipment would work also, but you'd need significantly more weight and our space station technology already supports the hydraulic machine.

>>674894422
Yeah, I guess it's not a problem

>>674894439
Couldn't this all be avoided with Venus, having like somewhat 90% that of earths gravity?

Venus is extremely toxic.

>>674893445
>orbiting space station habitats
basically this; we just mine every asteroid we find and turn it into a donut-shaped spinning space station

once that technology is perfected and the units become self-contained, we start seeding these things to nearby stars at sub-light speeds, where the process can repeat itself

>>674894750
Well, you could have completely sealed ships, with oxygen inside, the big thing that Venus has going for it, is its similarity with earths size, and being up 50kms in the atmosphere is the most similar in atmospheric pressure and temperature

>>674894422
then why even live near it? you can just build stations in space

>>674893951

Yeah, the only way people could live on surface would be having the technology to deflect the radiation or live underground, while Venus has a thick atmosphere that works like Earths.

It is around 50 km to 65 km above the surface of the Venus, so the station above the surface could work. You would have a hard time on the surface though, because there is atmospheric pressure of 93 bar, which is like 1km under the surface of the Earth ocean.

>>674895470
Sure, but that's an incredible rate of return on investment you couldn't possibly match even on earth, and mars would never be able to catch up

>>674895681
There's another mission being sent their soon, so maybe that will give us more data on the magnetic field.

>>674895681
Yeah good point, isnt the magnetic field like supercharged or something like that?

>>674895681
No magnetic field, but mass, such as water works fine e

"In 1967, Venera 4 found the Venusian magnetic field to be much weaker than that of Earth. This magnetic field is induced by an interaction between the ionosphere and the solar wind, rather than by an internal dynamo in the core like the one inside Earth."
Source: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venus

Distance wise aswell, Venus is alot closer to earth, so reduced travel time getting there is a positive

>>674895655
The challenges Venus presents are actually its greatest advantages

>>674895828
ought to be interesting

>>674895847

I don't see any reason why we won't eventually reach the tech level to partly colonise our solar system, however as for travelling further, much as it would be a nice idea, unfortunately I really don't think that there s any way to actually make FTL travel, so we will never venture further.

likewise, even if there is intelligent life out there, it is highly unlikely they will ever make it here.

LMAO you guys are a new level of Gullible Stupidity.

Everything you think you know about Venus, and space for a matter of fact, is bullshit made up by NASA. Don't believe me?
How the fuck can we see real-time pictures of Andromeda, other Galaxies, Nebula's and shit yet we "apparently" only have 2 pics taken from the surface of Venus?
How in the fucking hell can we "tell" what a planet/star/whatever the fucks out there, that is "LIGHTYEARS" away from us, is made out of and shit and if it contains liquid water yet we've JUST found out there's water on Mars!? Better yet, why the fuck do we have clear pictures of Andromeda but we've JUST finally gotten pictures of Pluto??

Most of NASA's information is all bullshit, people who believe there bullshit are gullible SHEEPS and so are flat-earth conspiracy theorists.... these douchebags are too fucking stupid to comprehend basic knowledge.

>>674893269

> Surface temperature 900 Fahrenheit

Venus would be a great place to pressure cook a whole turkey in 5 min, but it's not of any other use except as an object of study, and as a gravitational slingshot for sending payloads to other planets, as was done in the Galileo mission to Jupiter.

>>674897588
You're right, I do truly believe that humans are going to have to overcome a massive hurdle to surely make sure we do last for ever

>>674897503
we can barely transport petroleum without spilling it al over the place. we can barely maintain our own water systems. a leaky roof is not so insignificant

>>674897588
Exactly. But say that we had the technology to travel very long distances in a relatively short period of time, then we should think about referring to this list:
http://phl.upr.edu/projects/habitable-exoplanets-catalog/list_esi

ESI is the Earth Similarity Index, for those who don't know.

>>674897274
Thats why you terraform it man, theres a fuck ton of water on Mars in the form of permafrost in the ground, and a fuckingfuckton as water ice at the north pole (not south pole thats some other bullshit ice).

We just need to warm mars up a bit, theres a thin atmosphere, we could engineer algie n' suchthat can survive in the open. Spread it all over mars that will gradually take the nasty stuff out of the atmosphere and output some oxygen. Then slowly move up in plants, aligie to grass or w/e, once you can get to mega-fauna we're set.

Plus the atmospheric pressure n' shit in large craters in more than on the average surface. So start there.

Also some people suggest nuking the dormant volcanoes to get some core reactions going, and capturing ice asteroids and crashing them into mars, it'll heat it up and bring water. The water would evaporate, but we need it in the atmosphere more than as surface liquid.

Wait... a Movie Studio was able to make a movie on Venus, but NASA could only provide 2 pictures? Lmaooooooo wtf NASA's priority with the budget went into coke instead.

Venus will only kill you if you go on the surface, it is possible to live in the atmosphere which has similar atmospheric pressure and temperature to earth

>>674897958
I did read that, and the problem everyone is overlooking is that there's no way to make use of whatever natural resources Venus has, since the surface conditions make even robotic mining impossible, so it's not possible to truly colonize, since the term implies a self-sustaining operation. It would literally make more sense to try and colonize the upper slopes of an active volcano.

>>674898494
....... please tell me you're not serious.

>>674898531
Either way, the carbon dioxide would still kill you even if you live amidst its toxic clouds. You'd still have to wear a suit for oxygen on top of maintaining a station suspended in its atmosphere, so you'd need propulsion systems to stay aloft.

You may as well stay outside of it's orbit in space to avoid that shit. Or you could just go on Mars and build an on-land station there.

>>674898863
If they are Earth-sized or larger, then I think it's safe to assume that they have a reasonably strong magnetic field, especially if it's larger. As for gamma ray bursts, that aren't that common and only hit planets on rare occasions. You're right though, there are far more factors to consider than just these.

Use the challenges and disadvantages? You could go there to kill yourself I guess? Cook your breakfast instantly because of the insane temperatures? The only way Venus would be habitable, outside of living in the clouds and somehow growing food and killing people off because you couldn't possibly expand the size of whatever you are using to float there,would be to somehow move it into Earth's position where it could eventually cool down, however evenfor that to work you would need to strip most of it's atmosphere and use the dragon balls to give it an Oxygen rich atmosphere instead and also water.

By the time technology advances to that point, if it ever does, Mars would already be densely populated with domed cities.

I disagree. Humans have a tendency to get shit done when faced with adversity. Technology, medicine, architecture--you name it--has always benefited from times of war or crisis.

>>674893269

Venus. Mars doesn't have an appropriate atmosphere for it.

>BUT VENUS HAS ACID FUCKING RAIN, IS A BILLION DEGREES, AND HAS CRUSHING ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE!

Fair points. Until you realize there is an area on Venus called Skadi Mons which stands a not-so-impressive 10,700 meters above it's surface. While not to great, being at this altitude would greatly reduce the pressure to not-so-comfortable-but-livable conditions.

Since we already have current-day technology and products that can withstand an array of acids (basic plastic, glass, some metals) the construction of a temporary bunker would be entirely possible.

The acid could be filtrated down into water with enough ingenuity. The cloud cover will protect against violent radiation.

Obviously you'll experience a ton of horrible issues, such as unknown weather patterns and such, but dealing with Venus will be far more similar to Earth than Mars would be.

>>674900338
What reason would we go to Venus anyway? If we assume that we have to leave Earth, the best option would be Mars every time. It has a surface we could colonize either by terraforming or self sustaining domes.

It's also further from the Sun, so on the event of our Sun going red and expanding, we'd have a little more time to leave the system. Venus would be the 2nd thing to be engulfed.

No matter which way you slice it, Mars is the better option.

>>674900452

Supposing we attained a socialist utopia where we all distributed the wealth evenly and indiscriminately, and supposing we had no reason for war or any crisis, do you honestly think that humanity would be any closer to space colonization?

Consider the quote from Patton: ''If everyone is alike, then someone isn't thinking.''

We won't last forever - the universe won't last forever, but I know what you mean.

If we could make ourselves cybernetic and eventually fully robotic, we could last to the heat death of the universe in almost any environment.

>>beware the germans

Don't worry dude. I've known enough WW1 and 2 vets in my lifetime to know that. Same goes for the Japs. Neither are to be trusted, or considered human. I don't understand why like weeaboos, /pol/ and stormfront aren't all gathered up, taken out and shot. Hopefully Trump has a solution for dealing with this cancer too.

Apparently not you since the entire game takes place on Mars itself and its Moon, Phobos. The rest goes into the depths of Hell.

eh, the japs arent so bad. they were perfectly content being isolated on their little island for centuries. germans though . . . theyve been fucking stability up since at least the roman empire

I could just see humanity turning into some kind of massive AI system rolling through the universe converting every piece of matter into a usable resource. All flesh, plant, rock, liquid, gas would be diverted into the system to grow larger. With no goal in sight but to become the next best version. Constantly updating. We could probably conquer the universe but none of us will ever be alive to see it.

Jupiter is puny compared to other gas giant planets we've discovered. None so far are anywhere close to being large enough to ever become brown dwarfs.

Exaaaaaaaaaaactly- If those guys just colonized Venus instead of Mars, where y'know, the depths of hell began to open up, then none of that shit would've happened.

Colonize mars, there's no hope for venus

bye felicia

Wouldn't it to be awesome if Earth once having the technology to master space travel, and all that to have a war with another civilisation? Just think about it

Mars is impossible. The "liquid" found is actually an extremely toxic chemical (forgot it's name) that ensures Martian soil will never grow any Terran crops. Also, adding oxygen will cool Mars and no one has any good ideas as to how to increase the magnetic field.

Venus won't be cool enough for surface colonisation, even after introducing extremophile bacteria to drink all the co2 it'll still be over 100 degrees everywhere except the large mountain at the north pole... which will always be over 50 degrees. Cloud cities aren't bad, but if you don't mind building the entire enclosure, why not build in the lagrandian points of earth? It's closer.

So, no.

We have a better chance of turning Jupiter into a brown dwarf and colonizing Europa and Ganymede.
