Leaving earth to find new homes in space is an old dream of humanity and will sooner or later be necessary for our survival. The planet that gets the most attention is Mars, a small, toxic and energy poor planet that just about seems good enough for a colony of depressed humans huddled in underground cities.
But what if we think bigger? What if we take Venus, one of the most hostile and deadly places in the solar system and turn it into a colony? Not by building lofty cloud cities, but by creating a proper second earth? It might be easier than you think.

βIt might be easier than you think.β It was in fact a lot harder than I had originally thought.
-
"Another obvious solution..." - proceeds to explain shooting ice back and forth between Venus and Europa lol
-
Kurzgesagt: Itβs easier then you might think Also Kurzgesagt: proceeds to name the hardest methods Iβve ever heard
-
Kurzgesagts favorite things to do: 1: Using mass drivers 2: Shooting things to space 3: Using mass drivers to shoot things to space
-
βMight not be as hard as you thinkβ *Creates multiple planet-sized mirrors and harvests another planet's moon by flinging its contents across space*
-
Bruh, if we can turn any planet into Earth, than why canβt we turn Earth back into Earth?
-
Thereβs this game called TerraGenesis that allows players to terraform planets, Iβm currently working on Venus myself and the options for removing most of the atmosphere that I used were the sequestration plant and bio fixture labs that turned the co2 into c and o2 and removing the atmosphere allowed most of the heat to escape from Venus as well, at one point the bio fixture labs were putting too much oxygen into the atmosphere so I used a hydro generator which combined some of the oxygen with hydrogen to create water, which I eventually stabilized to the point that plants could grow, so we started with the nitrogen fixing microbes so we could add plants that could sustain humanity and any other creatures that I will add in the future, and it only took 500+ years in game. Edit: it was Not 500 odd years, it was 3500-4000 years, in game, Iβm not an immortal being Edit from 7 months in the future, I have terraformed the moon, Venus, mars and am currently working on Io which is a moon of Jupiter that has ice oceans underneath itβs surface, I havenβt played in months so now was a good time to come back to it

The Sun: I am dying and expanding Humanity: Best time to Venus terraform
-
This guy and his mass rails. Every solution was just "Shoot it into space." lmao
-
1:26 Jesus lads that's the most violent execution of a Kurzgesagt bird yet.
-
"Hey Ferb,I know what we are going to do today"
-
This should become a series for every planet in the solar system, so excited for the Jupiter episode /j
-
Remember: if you've got a problem, the solution is always MASS DRIVERS
-
I just realized: We could CHOOSE to not bring mosquitos to our new planet
-
Man i don't wanna die,i wanna see all of this happen!
-
Aliens be like: Mom I have a Venus terraforming project to bring to school tommorow
-
Well, thatβs a relief. Iβd hate to have to terraform Venus SLOWLY.
-
"Terraforming Venus is easier than you think" *proceeds to pull out a planet size mirror out of their ass.
-
Maybe my favorite channel on Youtube! Thanks for all the work you do!
