      hey um, if you wanted to terraform it more quickly, all you'd really need to do is seed it's atmosphere with microbial life such as tardigrades, aerobic bacteria, and airborne lichen. Then wait for the planet to begin producing more and more oxygen. As the oxygen levels increase, the temperature of the planet will decrease. And overtime, the planet will cool and the sulfur will rain out of the atmosphere. You then need to bind up all the sulfur, which is normally done by plate tectonics, but in the case of Venus, it can be bound up in life, and in iron crystals. This could be done by causing the creation of large amounts of pyrite artificially. It also might naturally form when the planet cools as well. As the sulfur rains out of the atmosphere, the life on the planet will begin breaking down the sulfuric acid back into water and forming sulfur deposits on the planet. It's actually easier to terraform Venus rather than mars, as mars is too small, and too cold to do anything really with, and has actually lost most of its water to outer space as it evaporated.

      Venus is passed the Goldilocks zone, there is no saving her. Mars is in an incubative stage, it is soon to errupt with massive super volcanic erruptions, that will free the silicate from the core so that the mantle of basalt can begin to descend as it does on Earth. Basalt descending leads to the uprise of continental formation and the release of water, where the iron and nickel continue to descend until they reach the core. Our planets is differentiating the basalt, which means Earth is not completely differentiated and Mars hasnt even started to differentiate. The Goldilocks zone is what is needed to initiate these events.

    Unfortunately, the effect of having a retrograde rotation longer than its orbital period is not really predictable.What use is an ocean if it heats up so much that it releases water vapor into the atmosphere, resulting in a renewed greenhouse effect? Speeding up its rotation via bombardment is an extremely iffy proposition.

    • @CarFreeSegnitz
      @CarFreeSegnitz 3 года назад +10

      The day side would generate excess water vapour. On the flip side the night side would precipitate the vapour. The trick is in getting the heat cycle to the point that Venus radiates as much as it receives and doing so at an average temperature of 5-10 centigrade.
      Speeding up the rotation is “easy”. Construct a moon in low Venusian orbit and let tidal forces do the heavy lifting. If left to itself the moon’s orbit would decay and crash into Venus. But we don’t leave it to itself, boosting it to keep it 1,000-2,000 km above Venus. Getting Venus up to a 24-hour day will still take millions of years.
      No matter the method it’s still wasted effort. If it’s living space we’re after then Venus is a giant hardware store for constructing habitats. Rotating habitats are roughly a million times more efficient with material for creating living space solely on not wasting so much material on providing gravity.

      It will if we ever find a reason to do so. Most probably for sentimental value as our "sister planet". There's really nothing else for us to do with Venus besides terraforming it. The surface is so hot and pressurised making it virtually impossible to get to for stripping it of materials that we would be forced to cool it, which is one stage of terraforming from the get go.
      Mars is perhaps the worst terraforming candidate in the galaxy as it's so close(relatively speaking) and iron rich, making it valuable to simply tear apart and use to make artificial habitats(Which are far superior in regards to living space and Earth-like conditions than any planet will be).
      Terraforming a planet is ultimately a waste of resources in virtually every aspect. So much material is wasted in planet form.

      @ferretsage8928 2 года назад

      Actually, go one step further. Venus is 95% the mass of Earth. Mercury is 5% the mass of Earth. Venus lacks a magnetic field because it lacks an iron core. 40% of Mercury is nothing but iron core. Venus lacks a carbon cycle, which is essential for continued life, because its crust is 30 miles thick and unbroken. A well-placed massive impact, much like happened between the protoplanets Terra and Theia in the early solar system to form the Earth-moon system, is needed to make that magnetic field and break up that solid crust to cycle fresh minerals to the surface. Plus a smaller moon, created from the impact, could be held from Venus at a closer distance to provide the same tidal effects. All sorts of good things are possible if Mercury and Venus were to combine.
      Ooooo, one more thing: Venus has a hellishly slow rotational period - 117 Earth days long. That means that the surface of Venus will cook like a chicken slowly turned on a rotisserie. Again, an impact with another large celestial body could speed up Venus's rotation.

      He explains how we could do this at the 9:20 mark. Essentially we could capture some small asteroids and reorient them to strike Venus, at the right angle. This would impart spin to the planet. You need many asteroids. In fact you don't have to hit Venus (that has its own issues). You could use a flyby that will tug on the plant. The challenge is to have a spacecraft that generates enough power power to move an asteroid. The benefit of doing all this is that if we can speed Venus' rotation we should be able to regenerate its magnetic field which would protect settlers from solar radiation.

      It would take a significant amount of energy, technology, and resources to relocate either Mercury or Ceres into orbit around another planet. To relocate Mercury into orbit around Venus, a spacecraft would need to be sent to Mercury and use a combination of propulsion and gravity assists to change the planet's orbit.
      This would likely involve a series of complex maneuvers, such as using the gravity of other planets to help change the orbit, and would require a significant amount of energy.Similarly, relocating Ceres into orbit around Mars would require a spacecraft to be sent to Ceres and use a combination of propulsion and gravity assists to change its orbit. This would also likely involve a series of complex maneuvers, and would require a significant amount of energy.It's important to note that relocating a planet or asteroid into orbit around another planet would have a significant impact on both the planet and the asteroid, and would likely have unintended consequences for the Solar System as a whole.

      It's ultimately pointless, though. There is nothing on Venus that we can get to worth colonising it for in it's current state. If we were to still do it for the luls we rule it out entirely as a candidate for terraforming as we can't terraform a planet with people on it. Terraforming a planet is immensely destructive.
      Don't get me wrong, I am very much in favour of colonising Venus, just not before we try to first terraform it, because we would be wasting any potential it actually had by colonising it's clouds. The materials on Venus are impossible to get to without first cooling and depressurising it.
      Mars is the worst terraforming candidate in existence due to it's relative proximity to Earth and being so iron rich. The fact that it could be landed on already if people had the balls and money makes it even worse a candidate.

      Since Venus is closer to the sun we’d have to create some sort of solar shade to cool the planet even if we got the atmosphere to be similar to earth. Also it’s almost impossible to sufficiently change Venus’ rotational period. Mars on the other hand has a similar rotational period to Earth, but would possibly have the opposite problem of not having enough sunlight. The one thing Venus has on Mars is size.
      I think the atmospheric challenges on both planets are somewhat similar. I also don’t get why people try to argue which one is better, because if we’re at a point where we are terraforming planets, then why not do both at the same time. Both are centuries long projects that will outlast the people that started it.

As soon as we figure out a good way to capture/convert CO2 on Earth the door swings wide open for Venus. The problems with Mars are unique to Mars.

    I would like to see a computer analysis of something. Venus rotates in the wrong direction and too slowly. Making it habitable requires a lot but first of all it needs a day around 24 hrs long. If there were satellites with large sails that unfurled, blocking some of the sunlight and in certain orbits, it's possible that could slowly impart the correct rotation to the planet. With the atmospheric acids and other toxins present, I think you have to plan a thousand years ahead, which is at least what you need to change the Venusian day. In that time a moon could be constructed, if that would be seen as necessary for planetary stability.
    Nothing could be done quickly on this, but making a new world liveable would be a monumentally important thing to do. In a thousand years, if we don't destroy ourselves, I could see us living on the Moon, Mars, Ceres and Venus - and maybe Earth if we don't kill it.

With Venus having almost the same gravity as earth, possibly a magnetic field, more than adequate natural sunlight/warmth, it is very attractive colonization candidate - right next door!! Another positive for Venus is that we can be sure there is no life on Venus which humanity would be threatening or displacing.

Their conclusion was that if we were in the path of an asteroid now we would be screwed. So moving a comet as of now is not a viable plan.
      I don't want you to think I'm one of the space pessimistic trolls I'm not. What you have purposed is all going to be things we will be able to do some time in the future. In my opinion. I however cannot justify going to all that effort to change a planetary body so that creatures who did not evolve there can live on said body. In my opinion it would be easier to build a habitat. You could build it anywhere and even move it anywhere. If you wanted to put it in orbit around Venus you could or it could be built in that spot. Then as the things advanced you could build resorts on Venus where the chef comes to your table and sticks his\her hand and arm in a special gauntlet then sticks your steak through the force field and cooks it in seconds. Where they have swimming pools or artificial lagoons floating in the atmosphere and you can shuttle to them from your habitat and spend a couple days on the Venus sky beach and resort. I think you get my drift. I just can't see all the time and effort being well spent converting something to a thing it is not. When that time and the resources could be used to build something that is designed specifically for humans.
      All that said if I was always right I would have been able to retire early and live my life out in comfort. Reality is much, much different. Also the fun part is to hear the ideas of others. That is how I learn new things. Since I will never get to leave this planet I can only imagine what it will be like for others. I imagine it will be glorious. In the end for those who do get to do the things I spent my life dreaming of, it will be boring. What I see as an amazing event they will see it as Tuesday.

The co2 will eventually freeze over time, in which case can be used to create an artificial moon. In turn, mars and venus have an appulse every 2 years. So that moon, could be moved to get in the way of the trajectory of mars, colliding with it. Helping not only warm up the planet, but also helping create an artificial atmosphere.

    Wild to me that there are so many views and comments on this vid, but none of the top comments point out how this is a bag chatgpt script fed into a bad AI reader...

    I argue that you overlooked how easy shades would be to create and launch via mass drivers on the moon. You dont need to shade the entire planet. In fact you could space the shades such that a dark then light cycle could occur every 24 hours thus imitating earth. Reflectors could do the same on the dark side of venus. Ion drives could make course corrections for the shades and reflectors after being launched by electromagnetic catapult (mass diver) on the moon. It could happen with resources available today.
