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.
A thousand years is nothing too. We've built churches that took as long as that to build, and that was for a church which is way less important in the grand scheme of things compared to an entire new habitable world.
Learning to take care of the planet we got is a necessity to the survival of humanity. I'm all for space exploration and trying to make a new Eden but that is a LONG time off. In the mean time we have to live here.
We need the money to fix Earth not waste on terraforming Venus or colonizing Mars. Earth is not nearly in as bad a shape as either of those two. Probably cost alot less money.
Lol we could get smacked by 5 dino killers and blow off the entire peak cold war nuclear arsenal 1000x and not turn earth into venus it looks like Venus got hit by something big enough to cause it to spin backwards so in the range of mercury to Mars sized
Lets send the co2 from Venus and earth to mars, then with the remaining co2 freeze it into a moon and fill it up with the plastic in the oceans! 5 birds, one stone (the reason for a moon is because of Venus not spinning)
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.
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.
Why not just install high altitude balloons (probably several billions of them) with highly reflective surfaces so that they would reflect solar radiation back into space. This would lower the temperature.
If giving Venus an axial tilt would be beneficial and the science was ever capable enough to do it then why not move Mercury into an orbit similar to our Moon and let it get to task stabilizing our fraught Sister planet. Mercury is only a tad bit bigger than our Moon and would be a good source of materials for that solar shade if reducing the diameter of Mercury to the same size as Luna would be a better fit.
@@joimy95, true but not by much, and any excess could be stripped off and used as raw materials for the innumerable amount of constructs that are sure to be built.
@@randybentley2633 excuse me Mercury is much more massive almost as 5 times the mass of the moon. It can not stabilize venus like our moon. Mercury has heavy metals its much denser. So it would not work as you think it would.
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.
I'm sure people 200 years ago would have said the say the same thing about traveling to space, Moon, or landing robots on other worlds. It's impossible to predict where tech will be in 100 years. Who know how advance we will be.
@@jukio02 We have been going backwards as far as space travel is concerned. We are still using technology from the 60's and are running out of Plutonium 238 because we produce so little now. Because of that, NASA probes are restricted from going beyond Jupiter. All those famous probes like Cassini and Voyager were powered this way. NASA has reaffirmed it's commitment to Fission Power, because they know it's the only way to explore and traverse space. We just don't give them near enough money to experiment with it or build exciting new reactors like we used to. So unless we do a full 180 on our views on Nuclear energy, don't get your hopes up.
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.
I have an idea for terraforming mars and Venus at the same time, I’ve been saying for a few years we should take the extra atmosphere from Venus and move it to mars,(kinda like in spaceballs but more practical) solve two birds with one stone
Well, Venus much more easy to terraform then Mars. If build in upper atmosphere airship with powerful pump station and establish pipeline to orbit, we can very quickly create artificial moon or belts, capable protect Venus from sun. All this stored on orbit carbon dioxide will be renanufactured to rocket fuel or oxygen.
@@iamsheel If you have no transportation system, you not able do anything. No exploration, no colonization, no terraforming. Housing and transportation is problem #1 in space exploration.
With lasers, direct a large comet to Venus. Crashing it an angle, to speed up Venus' rotation to make shorter days and thus creating a magnetosphere. The crash would leave behind the comets ice in the form of water vapor. This would take a few centuries off the terraforming procedure.
Maybe it could take shorter time. I mean, sending bombs designed for cloud seeding, etc. Could modify the weather, atmosphere of Venus and at least mimic terraforming
I use the spell card Terraform. I search for the Field Spell card Venus from my Deck. Special Summon 5 Human Monsters from my Deck with different names. This effect can't be negated by opponent's spells, traps and monster effects.
@@johnmorelli3775 We need to live by "Brighten the corner where you are." Earth is our first responsibility. IF developing space exploration technologies helps meet needs on Earth, then we should do it. Apollo certainly did.
@@brianarbenz1329 Maybe we can do both - (and should at least try). In any case our decision making process on this critical issue for humanity should not be constrained by a false dichotomy. In the next century mankind will likely run short of many critical resources needed to sustain an advanced civilization...we may not have the luxury of procrastination. Mankind will not likely thrive in a world of finite and declining resources. Far sighted figures such as Carl Sagan first proposed the terraforming of Venus back in the 1960's. Bringing a dead planet back to life....what a great legacy for our descendants! It may be a long journey, so we should get started by taking the initial steps.
Think of all the money that we need to spend to terraform venus or colonize Mars. It's absurd. For probably 10% of all that money you could turn Earth into paradise.
We need to send vehicles(motorized or lighter than air) to extract the CO2 ( and other gases) and make solids to drop to the surface or expell the gases to outerspace !
That was my thought too (i.e., expel solidified gases away from Venus's orbit). Lighter than air vehicles would be solar powered. These vehicles could also reflect solar radiation away from the planet helping to cool it. I assume we need hundreds of millions of such vehicles. So they need to be constructed by robots in space to make this economically feasible.
I’d bet a few sets of orbital and Lagrange mirrors would likely be the most practical way to simulate an Earth-like day/night cycle. But I wonder if we would ever have a way to speed up Venus’ 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.
If you changed any planet in the solar systems location and hence orbit , you would disrupt all the other planets orbit in the solar system. You would destroy the solar system.
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. Additionally, the technology required to accomplish such a feat does not currently exist.
Those sky cities can litterally produce graphene from the atmosphere. That Graphene can be exported. Heck, *the Power* can be beamed back to earth. In pulses at least. Then you have the heat differential. That *is* an energy source, as well as an accelarent for planetary cooling.
Floating cities are very possible on Venus! From there you'd just have to go ham on green houses. Give it time and enough recourses and we'll get there.
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.
We will do it because This is what we need to do! The idea of travelling a 10-50-100 light years, or father, to some planet we think is earth like is extremely difficult if not impossible. (a pipe dream??). On the other hand fixing Venus is doable although not with current technology.
The only posible option is if a large body like Mars or at least Pluto rams into venus in the right direction and with the right velocity. It may increase its rotational speed, increase its tilt, get a magnetic field going and though out enough mass into space to reduce the total heat content of the planet. But I hope our own planet don't get impacted by all these
I think we could achieve the same result using a large number of small asteroids, striking Venus at the right angle to increase the spin. We might in the future be able to do this.
They could genetically modify the bacteria to survive the harsh environment, we already have bacteria that survive the heat and pressure by under water volcanic vents...
I was high thinking about terraforming Venus that’s how I found your video and thought all we gotta do is capture all the carbon on Venus and we have the technology to extract carbon from our atmosphere but we could also use geothermal energy to power the carbon capture plant honestly it would be far easier to terraform Venus than mars were looking at the wrong planet
We could use solar energy (Venus gets lots of sunlight) to power any terraforming projects. I agree Venus may actually be less difficult to terraform than Mars. And more importantly the rewards are infinitely greater if we are successful (an earth-size planet with adequate warmth/sun, earth-like gravity & and potentially a magnetic field too!)
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.
exactly 6 years ago. On July 4, 2016 (on the ROUND 360th anniversary of the announcement of the Declaration of Independence of the United States), MARS unveiled the famous Balanced Rock in the Murray Buttes area - is it the Banner of Independence or a colonization permit?
Haha I love how every wanker talk about terraforming planets because it's practically impossible for us to do, they just play balls with ideas and suggestions on how-to, and yet can't find a solution for global warming on earth.. I only feel bad for the animals that suffer due to our greed and ignorance.
We could fix the issues. Certain types of bacteria break down plastic, and we could sequester carbon emissions. People with big industries, or people who just litter get in the way, and those people trying to fix the problem lack much funding.
Combine Venus and Mars and smash them together to form a new planet called Vemars and put Mercery as its moon. Its new orbit should be between Mars and Earth's present ones and u got a whole new planet just a bit bigger than earth and it will be very suitable for life.
If I could bet (and live long enough to get the win) I would say Venus terraforming is MUCH more likely in the next 500 years than Mars for one simple reason: the problems with Venus are the same problems we are actively trying to prevent on Earth. 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.
The closest plant to Earth most of the time is Mercury actually, not Venus. There are videos already explaining this like Tomment Section and CGP Grey.
Yes mercury is closest planet to earth most of the time but still the closest possible distance of earth and mercury is greater then closest possible distance between earth seen in year
That’s not what people mean ever when they say that. Just because technically it’s true, it’ll never come up in an argument. “Technically mercury is closest to earth, so lets go through the sun because it’s technically closer than mars in 3 months”
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.
Given technology available in 100 or 200 years from now the terraforming could possibly be done very quickly. We just can't say. 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.
I would say, GO FOR IT! If there ever was a more noble mission for humanity to flourish and propagate, the terraforming of the planet Venus is essential! It will become THE SECOND EARTH! 🌎🌎
Haven't they said there is no longer enough water left on the planet. Hauling water using comets seems to far too need to go to transform a planet that will be viable for Lea time than the Earth concerning how things will go naturally.
All you would have to do is wait for a regular interval comet like Haleys comet on its way through the inner solar system, then use a large space ship to help "pull" it in a way that it would strike Venus. Much easier than pulling in Kuiper belt objects and hoping they dont hit anything else on the way in. We could also "seed" Venus with water from the Earth itself as another alternative.
@@DKforever24 I can see using water from Earth, but even that would be a titanic under taking. Just recently the space agencies got together to discuss plans and ideas about dealing with a asteroid on a collision course with Earth. 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. Their dreams will be way bigger than mine.
@@gerald3339 ya we probably could. Here is the thing ( I know this is unreasonable, and childish) I don't like Venus. I can't explain exactly why. I do know when people say it's a Earth twin I get the urge to fight. When anyone speaks well of that planet, I can only think that fricken place is 1000+ degrees, fricken atmosphere is 100 or 1000???? Times more pressure than Earth, our dear little Sister. The last volcano that erupted on Venus was Venus all of it. The ultimate super, mega, ass kicking volcano. You know Venus couldn't give little IO just one win. ( yes I know how big those bloated Volcanoes are on Mars , not impressed ) those sukers took 10s or 100s of millions of years. They are big but IO is evil demons of legend leave behind or smell like sulfur, IO is covered with that yellow shit. I'm not promoting evil, but IO said " I'm little I'm grumpy, if I want to be noticed I'm gunna need to sell my soul". Europa is the polar opposite. So I'm not willing to give Jupiter's only good side Moon to the Devil herself. I know it's not the thoughts or acts of a totally sane mind. Hey if a little is good then totally fricken crazy, chewing on door jams and having a red brick as a pet must be a riot. So I'm not in on feeding Europa to Venus. I say cut Venus up and take her to the scrap yard, see what she's worth?😆😅🤣😂😆😅🤣😂😆😅🤣😂🤪🙄😆😅🤣😂
With a few thousand years of effort it would be easy. Personally think terraforming Mars is a waste of time. Shred Mars down for O'Neill cylinder construction materials until nothing is left. And then terraform Venus.
No easy way to go about this without some star trek level stuff. You could lower sky tethers from space and use atmospheric thermal induction to try and draw it up into a space station for freezing for shipment, but the transport requirements would still also be huge. More than likely though, if you had sky tethers, you could more easily have orbital space mirror degassing the martian ground at 570 degrees in various spots to get the CO2 you’d need over time for a-lot easier. Still might be a reason to come to Venus, if unable to source enough nitrogen from the asteroids.
What if we take sulfur of io and drop huge loads of it on venus? Should that cause reactions that cool venus? Based on how small SO² cool earth by degrees. 100 times that could work?
Must be much newer than Mars,Mars come to an end about 4 Billion years ago,Venus now days is a boiling hot burning planet with thunderstorms in the sky,Its about the same size as earth and looks a lot more like Mars with acid clouds in the sky,It could be made to be like Earth like planet again,There be a lot of work to do,Wont need a green house effect,Agree that will need to be coolen down quite a bit
So hear me out. We create a large tube, or tubes. The tube is anchored to a satellite in the vacuum of space. The facuum of space will create a pressure differential, and create a flow of gas being pulled into the vacuum of space, decreasing the atmospheric density of Venus over time. 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.
Teraforming venus has so much problems it will most likely be at least 500 years (probably more) in the future and way easyer to just construct huge space habitats Making venus rotate faster will probably give it an unstable rotation because of the lack of a moon Getting materials there would be challenging, but possible by contantly trowing materials to venus mined in atroid belt, moon, and mars and its moons. We maybe capable to do so in the far future, but I think chances are bigher we will live on space habits or in a digital world.
A thousand years is so arbitrary though. We could get the technology in a couple decades-we could never get it. There's no grounds to make any hard predictions other than the fact that we can't do it now or imagine doing it in the near future.
2:05 if Venus had water until 700 million years ago, how can the loss of this water be caused by an event that happened 500 million years ago? What happened in those 200 million years in between?
Evidence suggests Venus had water up to 700 million years ago, but volcanic activity around 500 million years ago could have triggered a runaway greenhouse effect, causing water loss. The 200-million-year gap likely involved gradual climate changes. Thanks for watching!
Why not to launch a spaceship to a habitable planet. If it taken 70000 years to arrive then put the passengers in the freezer, or just don't make a heater in the ship.
More importantly why are we looking for another planet to live on ? In the midst of the world in chaos and we waist all this money on this stupid stuff , we need to pause and help one another before continuing .. sadness
That would be a very interesting video actually. It would also make a very interesting idea for a novel too. I’ll do exactly that, write a novel based in a floating city on a gas giant
We can colonize venus if we become type 1,thw first step is to industrialized the space, mining asteroids, so we can build much larger space outpost, colony,
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.

Why not just use mirrors in orbit, that will orbit simulating day and night?
Heck you can even simulate moon like this, not to mention you get all that energy for other projects.
We can all just go to Venus and run in 1 direction at the same time and speed it up, like a treadmill
Why not just install high altitude balloons (probably several billions of them) with highly reflective surfaces so that they would reflect solar radiation back into space. This would lower the temperature.
If giving Venus an axial tilt would be beneficial and the science was ever capable enough to do it then why not move Mercury into an orbit similar to our Moon and let it get to task stabilizing our fraught Sister planet.

Sounds like a pipedream.. but I would love to have a time machine and travel 2000 years into the future to see if it ever actually happens
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.
I'm sure people 200 years ago would have said the say the same thing about traveling to space, Moon, or landing robots on other worlds. It's impossible to predict where tech will be in 100 years. Who know how advance we will be.
@@jukio02 We have been going backwards as far as space travel is concerned. We are still using technology from the 60's and are running out of Plutonium 238 because we produce so little now. Because of that, NASA probes are restricted from going beyond Jupiter. All those famous probes like Cassini and Voyager were powered this way.
NASA has reaffirmed it's commitment to Fission Power, because they know it's the only way to explore and traverse space. We just don't give them near enough money to experiment with it or build exciting new reactors like we used to. So unless we do a full 180 on our views on Nuclear energy, don't get your hopes up.
Globally we spend about $2 trillion a year on military weapons. THAT'S a 'pipe-nightmare'!
We could get Venus all sorted out with that money!
Its doable but with current technology expensive and will probably take centuries. That's not a "pipe dream".
A good start would be moving the planet mercury into orbit around Venus, to be it's moon.
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.
thats totally possible
Or make Mercury collide with mars, we call it: Marscury
And we have enough CO2, plastic in the oceans and the astroids to make a moon
The level of energy and resources to do some of these things makes me think, sure, why not?
It would make sense to talk about this again in around 500 years from now on.
I have an idea for terraforming mars and Venus at the same time, I’ve been saying for a few years we should take the extra atmosphere from Venus and move it to mars,(kinda like in spaceballs but more practical) solve two birds with one stone
Probelm is Mars' lack of a strong Magnetosphere would mean the freshly delivered atmosphere would just get blown away by solar winds again
@@neshurasuperconducting magnets would create a strong enough magnetic field to prevent solar radiation. Look it up. How to terraform mars
Well, Venus much more easy to terraform then Mars. If build in upper atmosphere airship with powerful pump station and establish pipeline to orbit, we can very quickly create artificial moon or belts, capable protect Venus from sun. All this stored on orbit carbon dioxide will be renanufactured to rocket fuel or oxygen.
We can't do ANYTHING without developing the right infrastructure for transportation in space.
@@iamsheel If you have no transportation system, you not able do anything. No exploration, no colonization, no terraforming. Housing and transportation is problem #1 in space exploration.
With lasers, direct a large comet to Venus. Crashing it an angle, to speed up Venus' rotation to make shorter days and thus creating a magnetosphere. The crash would leave behind the comets ice in the form of water vapor. This would take a few centuries off the terraforming procedure.
Maybe it could take shorter time. I mean, sending bombs designed for cloud seeding, etc. Could modify the weather, atmosphere of Venus and at least mimic terraforming
My idea is use a sunshade, sequester the atmosphere, get ice chunks from an ice moon, and throw them at venus at an angle.
I use the spell card Terraform.
I search for the Field Spell card Venus from my Deck.

Take a shot everytime someone says "How can we terraform Venus if we can't fix earth first?" Or says "Elon".
Better yet, answer that question.
Learning how to fix earth could help us down the road to terraform Venus.
However I believe we can do both simultaneously!
@@johnmorelli3775 We need to live by "Brighten the corner where you are." Earth is our first responsibility. IF developing space exploration technologies helps meet needs on Earth, then we should do it. Apollo certainly did.
@@brianarbenz1329 Maybe we can do both - (and should at least try). In any case our decision making process on this critical issue for humanity should not be constrained by a false dichotomy.
In the next century mankind will likely run short of many critical resources needed to sustain an advanced civilization...we may not have the luxury of procrastination. Mankind will not likely thrive in a world of finite and declining resources.
Far sighted figures such as Carl Sagan first proposed the terraforming of Venus back in the 1960's. Bringing a dead planet back to life....what a great legacy for our descendants! It may be a long journey, so we should get started by taking the initial steps.
Think of all the money that we need to spend to terraform venus or colonize Mars. It's absurd. For probably 10% of all that money you could turn Earth into paradise.
Very informative. Also the narrator is fluent and clear. Wonderful ✅❤️
We need to send vehicles(motorized or lighter than air) to extract the CO2 ( and other gases) and make solids to drop to the surface or expell the gases to outerspace !
That was my thought too (i.e., expel solidified gases away from Venus's orbit). Lighter than air vehicles would be solar powered. These vehicles could also reflect solar radiation away from the planet helping to cool it. I assume we need hundreds of millions of such vehicles. So they need to be constructed by robots in space to make this economically feasible.
Good video but shows artwork of terraformed Mars at the end for some reason; Valles Marineris is clearly visible. 🙂

You sound like the ‘How It’s Made’ voice
I’d bet a few sets of orbital and Lagrange mirrors would likely be the most practical way to simulate an Earth-like day/night cycle. But I wonder if we would ever have a way to speed up Venus’ 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.
@@johnmorelli3775While delivering water from an ice moon, throw the ice chunks at an angle. That's my idea for spinning it up.
A shade near L1 and a diagonal orbital mirror could do the trick.
Yes good idea I think! @@ericgolightly8450
It would be truly out of this world to see this... !
Could you imagine? Thanks lnsane Curiosity.❤
if we can turn any planet into Earth then why can't we turn Earth into Earth
Yes, I agree. Misread your statement at first but terraforming will get easier in time.
You mean improving the Earth? That's an idea...
Doing both man
What if we moved Venus closer to earth? Would that cool down Venus’s temperature?
We still have to solve the atmosphere problem and the slow rotation
If you changed any planet in the solar systems location and hence orbit , you would disrupt all the other planets orbit in the solar system. You would destroy the solar system.
Venus would still be hot, because of its greenhouse effect. Shading it from the sun could help though cool it down though.
slow?? We need to speed it up
Do I correctly recognize the voice of Principal Skinner?
Would need to move Mercury into the orbit of Venus to increase its rotation and restore its axial tilt
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.
Additionally, the technology required to accomplish such a feat does not currently exist.
I like the bacteria idea and the hydrogen idea (creates water)
very nice video... thx IC
Those sky cities can litterally produce graphene from the atmosphere.
That Graphene can be exported.
Heck, *the Power* can be beamed back to earth. In pulses at least.
Then you have the heat differential. That *is* an energy source, as well as an accelarent for planetary cooling.
Venus = the future of Earth?
you should release that planet cracked sound as a ringtone
Floating cities are very possible on Venus! From there you'd just have to go ham on green houses. Give it time and enough recourses and we'll get there.
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.
There's already too many people with there heads in the clouds!
@@infini_ryu9461That is a problem that's hard to fix, but I think terraforming is still worth it.
ironically we are venusforming earth ....
best comment ever @Bubatanka
Very true , ha ha !
🤣😂🤣😂
Thanx Insane Curiosity, it simply doesn't get any better. 😀
I wish i could be alive to see us terraform another planet. 😢
We will do it because This is what we need to do! The idea of travelling a 10-50-100 light years, or father, to some planet we think is earth like is extremely difficult if not impossible. (a pipe dream??). On the other hand fixing Venus is doable although not with current technology.
@@johnmorelli3775Fusion drives and Antimatter engines could slowly move a ship many light years. It would take hundreds of years, though.
Maybe you could have a chance. Aging could be stopped within at least the next few years.
The only posible option is if a large body like Mars or at least Pluto rams into venus in the right direction and with the right velocity. It may increase its rotational speed, increase its tilt, get a magnetic field going and though out enough mass into space to reduce the total heat content of the planet. But I hope our own planet don't get impacted by all these
I think we could achieve the same result using a large number of small asteroids, striking Venus at the right angle to increase the spin. We might in the future be able to do this.
@@johnmorelli3775 If they're comets, we can also get some water.
Unfortunately Venus would still keep most of its atmosphere.
They could genetically modify the bacteria to survive the harsh environment, we already have bacteria that survive the heat and pressure by under water volcanic vents...
If we only could use the atmosphere taken from Venus to terriform Mars or other bodies at the same time...
We could import co2 and nitrogen from Venus and take it to Mars, that's a good idea.
So this is probably fairly dumb but why not siphon off large amounts of greenhouse gasses and transfer them to mars which would help both planets.
Because mars is a dinky rock & doesn't have the gravitational field to hold on to a thicker atmosphere
It has the gravity, just no protection from solar wind.@@user-lb8do4ew6k
I was high thinking about terraforming Venus that’s how I found your video and thought all we gotta do is capture all the carbon on Venus and we have the technology to extract carbon from our atmosphere but we could also use geothermal energy to power the carbon capture plant honestly it would be far easier to terraform Venus than mars were looking at the wrong planet
Good idea but the problem is how to use that equipment with the heat and pressure.
We could use solar energy (Venus gets lots of sunlight) to power any terraforming projects. I agree Venus may actually be less difficult to terraform than Mars. And more importantly the rewards are infinitely greater if we are successful (an earth-size planet with adequate warmth/sun, earth-like gravity & and potentially a magnetic field too!)
Wrong. Itd be easier to terraform mars. Just look it up if your confused as of why
@@420inmysystem69Yeah. Mars has water, Venus doesn't, and would need huge shades to start removing or changing the atmosphere.
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.
exactly 6 years ago. On July 4, 2016 (on the ROUND 360th anniversary of the announcement of the Declaration of Independence of the United States), MARS unveiled the famous Balanced Rock in the Murray Buttes area - is it the Banner of Independence or a colonization permit?
Great video!
Haha I love how every wanker talk about terraforming planets because it's practically impossible for us to do, they just play balls with ideas and suggestions on how-to, and yet can't find a solution for global warming on earth..

The fact this came out 10 days after Kurzgesagt did makes my go hmmmmmmm
How can we terraform another planet ? When we can't seem to fix what's happening on our planet right now!
Fixing irreversible damage is harder then starting over
On other planets, there aren't any other people to get in the way.
We could fix the issues. Certain types of bacteria break down plastic, and we could sequester carbon emissions. People with big industries, or people who just litter get in the way, and those people trying to fix the problem lack much funding.
Venus could've been our twin planet. I grieve for venus more than I think about the Roman empire.
Venus is like a frying pan. Even the steel gets melted. One can terraform Venus only if they survive in that planet for long.
Combine Venus and Mars and smash them together to form a new planet called Vemars and put Mercery as its moon. Its new orbit should be between Mars and Earth's present ones and u got a whole new planet just a bit bigger than earth and it will be very suitable for life.
Bro was high as fuck writing this 😂
If I could bet (and live long enough to get the win) I would say Venus terraforming is MUCH more likely in the next 500 years than Mars for one simple reason: the problems with Venus are the same problems we are actively trying to prevent on Earth. 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.
making notes for my science fiction story
who knows maybe it will inspire a generation to terraform Venus
Venus is a better terraforming candidate for the gravity alone.
The closest plant to Earth most of the time is Mercury actually, not Venus. There are videos already explaining this like Tomment Section and CGP Grey.
Yes mercury is closest planet to earth most of the time but still the closest possible distance of earth and mercury is greater then closest possible distance between earth seen in year
@@secretunknown2782 Then say it that way word per word. It has the shortest possible distance.
That’s not what people mean ever when they say that.
Just because technically it’s true, it’ll never come up in an argument.
“Technically mercury is closest to earth, so lets go through the sun because it’s technically closer than mars in 3 months”
Mercury is on average the closest because it doesn't move much. Venus can get closer to Earth than any other planet.
462° deg Celsius. But it's a dry heat
There's no shade either.
@@johnmorelli3775 what do you mean? Venus also has nights. Plenty of shade and lasts more than a year! 😁
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.
Given technology available in 100 or 200 years from now the terraforming could possibly be done very quickly. We just can't say. 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.
I would say, GO FOR IT! If there ever was a more noble mission for humanity to flourish and propagate, the terraforming of the planet Venus is essential! It will become THE SECOND EARTH! 🌎🌎
So nothing in this video was realistic… 🤷🏻♂️
Realistic, impractical right now. Maybe a few centuries later we could do this.
Let's do it
Haven't they said there is no longer enough water left on the planet. Hauling water using comets seems to far too need to go to transform a planet that will be viable for Lea time than the Earth concerning how things will go naturally.
All you would have to do is wait for a regular interval comet like Haleys comet on its way through the inner solar system, then use a large space ship to help "pull" it in a way that it would strike Venus. Much easier than pulling in Kuiper belt objects and hoping they dont hit anything else on the way in.
We could also "seed" Venus with water from the Earth itself as another alternative.
@@DKforever24 I can see using water from Earth, but even that would be a titanic under taking. Just recently the space agencies got together to discuss plans and ideas about dealing with a asteroid on a collision course with Earth. 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. Their dreams will be way bigger than mine.

Mmm, a solar system wide bucket brigade would do the trick.
Can we transfer Venus's atmosphere to Mars?
With a few thousand years of effort it would be easy. Personally think terraforming Mars is a waste of time. Shred Mars down for O'Neill cylinder construction materials until nothing is left. And then terraform Venus.
I've proposed this before the CO2 can be used to heat up Mars and build an atmosphere. Also the CO2 can be used to make fuel as well.
@@Twitch760In the presence of hydrogen, yes but unfortunately Venus is so devoid of it due to atmospheric winds, not likely to have enough.
No easy way to go about this without some star trek level stuff. You could lower sky tethers from space and use atmospheric thermal induction to try and draw it up into a space station for freezing for shipment, but the transport requirements would still also be huge. More than likely though, if you had sky tethers, you could more easily have orbital space mirror degassing the martian ground at 570 degrees in various spots to get the CO2 you’d need over time for a-lot easier. Still might be a reason to come to Venus, if unable to source enough nitrogen from the asteroids.
@@foxringsI’m of opposite opinion on that, but to each their own.

It will be expensive, but we are buying another world!. 😊
Making a space shade for Earth could solve our global warming problem. We could the shunt it to venus.
We can use the greenhouse gases of Venus to terraform Mars, and makes a Venus habitable, and Mars habitable
Must be much newer than Mars,Mars come to an end about 4 Billion years ago,Venus now days is a boiling hot burning planet with thunderstorms in the sky,Its about the same size as earth and looks a lot more like Mars with acid clouds in the sky,It could be made to be like Earth like planet again,There be a lot of work to do,Wont need a green house effect,Agree that will need to be coolen down quite a bit
Doesn't the moon play in our atmospheres condensation and sea levels? I could see that causing an issue as well.
So hear me out. We create a large tube, or tubes. The tube is anchored to a satellite in the vacuum of space. The facuum of space will create a pressure differential, and create a flow of gas being pulled into the vacuum of space, decreasing the atmospheric density of Venus over time. 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.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Teraforming venus has so much problems it will most likely be at least 500 years (probably more) in the future and way easyer to just construct huge space habitats
Making venus rotate faster will probably give it an unstable rotation because of the lack of a moon
Getting materials there would be challenging, but possible by contantly trowing materials to venus mined in atroid belt, moon, and mars and its moons.
We maybe capable to do so in the far future, but I think chances are bigher we will live on space habits or in a digital world.
We have built things in our history that took longer than that.
i like the video but rebooting the planet takes a good long time of several decades if not a century
A thousand years is so arbitrary though. We could get the technology in a couple decades-we could never get it. There's no grounds to make any hard predictions other than the fact that we can't do it now or imagine doing it in the near future.

Is this being narrated by Mike Rowe?
2:05 if Venus had water until 700 million years ago, how can the loss of this water be caused by an event that happened 500 million years ago? What happened in those 200 million years in between?
Evidence suggests Venus had water up to 700 million years ago, but volcanic activity around 500 million years ago could have triggered a runaway greenhouse effect, causing water loss. The 200-million-year gap likely involved gradual climate changes. Thanks for watching!
Simulating proper day and night there, should be the first step.
Something very wrong with this picture when you have billions of dollars to colonize Mars or terraform Venus but not a penny to fix Earth.😢
Why not to launch a spaceship to a habitable planet. If it taken 70000 years to arrive then put the passengers in the freezer, or just don't make a heater in the ship.
How about we worry about earth before we go depleting and ruining other planets first.
Nah, Earth is for Amish, space age is more important than this nesting ground. Human race may have thousands of habitable worlds one day.
Freeze and launch millions of tons of CO2 and Nitrogen to mars.

Hello everyone
Paraterraforming would be the best option.
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.
