   This stupid timezone has caused me to not see the same people that I usually see.
   
   Also here (cc @graf ) are some images from the Venera probes that the Soviets managed to land on actual Venus. The US press created the demonym "Venusian" as a result of "Venereal" having some connotations in English, or at least that's what I heard and haven't looked it up.

     @graf Yeah, I remember when it exited the heliosphere and I learned what a heliosphere was.

     Well supposedly one of the probes captured something odd. A black looking thing on the foot in a few frames.

     @Frank @graf The cameras melted pretty soon after touchdown and it was SSTV signal so it wouldn't be a surprise if there were a lot of things that only showed up for one frame.

     It's amazing that it lasted as long as it did honestly. It's hot enough to melt solder on the surface. Or so they tell us 🤔

     @p @graf those probes are fascinating. Also Venus is the better planet to colonize first but ole musky boi is 3 retards in a trench coat.

     @j @graf I remember you discussing the Venus blimp city idea. I remain unconvinced that this would be easier than Mars: you'd have solar radiation on one side and no solid ground on the other, there's no magnetosphere.

     No magnetosphere, though. How many rads at that depth?

     @p @graf floating cities isn't that crazy when you consider the fact that you'd be able to swim in the atmosphere close to the surface. At high altitude it's the right temp, very stable weather, it's the right pressure so you wouldn't need bulky pressurized suits. As long as you're not in an acid cloud you could get by with just a breathing apparatus. No suit needed.
     
     Not having to wear a suit outside on an alien world should be reason enough. Suits suck and nobody enjoys wearing them.
     
     Also since you're not having to pressurized the environments, just change the gases, building large stitches becomes much much easier, cheaper, and lighter. Building a beef farm, chicken farm, hog farm, etc. all becomes doable with current technology. We literally already have the technology to put a dairy farm on Venus. We'd need to refine some of it a bit sure but we could do it. Plants will just grow too. Some will need shading but the CO2 atmosphere is like steroids to them. They just need water. You don't have to worry about the atmosphere at all. Being able to just grow stuff and even animal farms being possible to do is huge.

     @p @graf we could put an electromagnet satellite at L1. Plenty of sunlight there to power an artificial magnet shield. Way more than Mars' L1.

     @p @graf you could also have a structure above the inhabited one provide shielding. Plenty of sunlight to power magnets.

     @JollyR @j @p Pete's a good guy. Met him in person. Bought him a brisket poutine and fed him more booze than I could probably handle and he took it like a champ. Glad I met him

     @p @JollyR @j You should try a pulled pork poutine one of the meat eater ones from smokes poutinerie. There's one right when you get out of the terminal at YYZ. Bunny was laughing because you come out of customs and the first thing you see is a giant flannel colored chip truck. Next time
