    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 'How feasible is home radio astronomy?'

Is a homemade radio telescope realistic? There seems to be a confluence of multiple technologies that makes the situation better than when I was a wee lad: software-defined radio (SDR), the easy availability of satellite dishes, surveillance drives, and fast CPUs. Let's take a step back - it is trivial to see the sun in radio. An old analog TV, a set of "rabbit ears" antenna, and you're good to go. Point the antenna at the sun (i.e. the ears are perpendicular to it) and there is...

Thread '3I/ATLAS, Interstellar Comet'

3I/ATLAS, also known as C/2025 N1 (ATLAS) and formerly designated as A11pl3Z, is an iinterstellar comet. It was discovered by the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) station at Río Hurtado, Chile on 1 July 2025. Note: it was mentioned (as A11pl3Z) by DaveE in a new member's introductory thread. https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/brian-cox-lead-me-here.1081670/post-7274146 https://earthsky.org/space/new-interstellar-object-candidate-heading-toward-the-sun-a11pl3z/ One...
