Actually, that would be the plan. Just need to figure out how to make your own dirt.


while avoiding incoming rocks ... and the occasional down draft

Reminds me of the story about the scientist that made a bet with God that he could create life, and challenged him to a race. God took him on.

God reached down and grabbed a hand full of dirt.

The scientist grabbed a hand full of dirt.

God looks over and exclaims “Hey - no fair! Get your OWN dirt!”

I was remembering that story when I wrote the line.

In reality, the material on Venus’ surface may be worse than that of Mars for making up soil, but it would be the closest stuff available.

Anything else would have to be brought from another world, at quite inconvenient expense. What Venus lacks primarily is water. We shouldn’t have to look very far just for dirt.

“Alien belief is just a substitute for God.”

IMO it is possible to have a relationship with God and believe the possibility that some form of life exists outside our atmosphere.

A more practical oberservation would be that Climate Change Hoax is just a substitute for God.
