Assuming that intra-Solar System space travel becomes a practicality - how long would it take to make Venus a habitable planet? While a fairly hypothetical question at them moment, money invested in Martian terraforming would probably be better spent. Jackiespeel 16:55, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Very true. There have been several articles on terraforming Venus in the JBIS, and it's apparent that the 200 atmospheres of carbon dioxide present a far greater problem than anything on Mars. Even Titan might be easier to terraform than Venus. - Reaverdrop (talk/nl/wp:space) 23:22, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Venus is very difficult even settle, not to mention terraform (which is factually impossible). Settling Venus is much more difficult than settling Mercury or Ganymede or something in Kuiper Belt.--Nixer 16:25, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Did you even read the article? Terraforming Venus is not impossible, merely very difficult. The question is whether it is practical, or worth the effort. (67.87.115.207 19:41, 29 July 2006 (UTC))

[edit] Proposed move

I suggest to move the article to Terraforming of Venus by analogy with Colonization of Venus--Nixer 09:17, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Possible copyright violation

I have noticed that the text at [1] is almost identical to the one here. That website is copyrighted (it says so at the bottom) and unless there's something I'm missing out here it seems like a copyright violation. --FreshFruitsRule 23:09, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
