[QUOTE="Percivale, post: 75927435, member: 302279"] I think Venus is more promising for habitation than Mars. It's the right size and gravity, and closer, while Mars' advantages are that we can walk on the surface sooner and that it has a similar rotation period. But I think Venus' slow rotation is an asset, not a problem. It would allow us to settle on the dark side once the atmosphere is thinner and be protected from the sun's radiation and excess heat, and only occasionally have to move. We could settle near the poles and it wouldn't take much travel to always be in a twilight zone where it's not too dark but we don't face direct sunlight. Here's an overview of terraforming Venus.
