No problems with it really. We could do this today, with today's technology.
Venus is really close to us, comparatively speaking, and you won't even need a lander to get there. (You can brake against the atmosphere itself.)
The cloud city can be made of balsa wood and rubber, low-tech stuff.
Making the colony sustainable is another question, but it's not specific to Venus. Space is empty and pointless in general.
- robin_reala 5y agoHow do you ship enough balsa wood to Venus to build a city?
- adrianN 5y agoStart with a very small city and plant some trees?
- yjftsjthsd-h 5y agoWhat are they going to grow with? I guess we're basically talking about an organic factory to extract carbon from the atmosphere and convert it to wood?
- adrianN 5y agoThe atmosphere has plenty of carbon dioxide. You probably need to ship minerals and I guess water.
