Not really. If you want to terraform Venus you should bioengineer a flying equivalent of kelp with buoyant gas bladders and let that do the work.

- mrfusion 13y agoCool idea. Has that been suggested before? Is it possible? I thought there was too little h2o on Venus for plant life.
- aruggirello 13y agoI can only imagine the tranquillity of such a buoyant thing, immersed in an atmosphere boiling at 872°F/500°C (a temperature capable of melting lead), while fierce winds endlessly blow at 300-400 Km/h (faster than any tornado on Earth)...
- mrfusion 13y agoThe atmospheric pressure and temperature approximately fifty kilometres above the surface are similar to those at Earth's surface.
- aruggirello 13y agoAnd what about wind speeds? Because when we have 400Km/h winds at Earth's surface, we call it a category 5 hurricane...
- dredmorbius 13y agoIf everything's moving at the same speed, it's not much of an issue. Turbulence and vortices, that could be problematic.
