About 323 million times the energy humanity produces in a year to spin up Venus [0] so probably not anytime soon. [0]: https://nathanielmrouth.wordpress.com/20

- bloopernova 3y agoThank you for a super interesting link! It briefly mentioned the equatorial bulge that other, faster spinning, planets possess. Would it greatly damage the planet to spin it up? I also didn't know that Venus' rotational energy is so low that we "could" actually spin it the correct way without spending much more energy.
