- Mistletoe 1y agoThat’s part of it but the dense CO2 atmosphere is the major issue. Don’t worry, we are trying to get there as fast as we can to Hell as well.
- orionblastar 1y agoDon't forget the corrusive atmosphere that is acid and eats up space probes.
- SilverElfin 1y agoWhat’s the worst case CO2 on earth? Is it as bad as Venus?
- andrewflnr 1y agoAlmost the entire length of the linked article is spent answering that question in detail.

- mitthrowaway2 1y agoVenus's albedo is so high that the insolation at the surface is even less than Earth's. Yet it's hotter than Mercury, which is closer to the sun than Venus. The article says that volcanism is the reason, and that solar heating would not cause this result on its own, even though it's everyone's first guess.
