Leaving earth to find new homes in space is an old dream of humanity and will sooner or later be necessary for our survival. The planet that gets the most attention is Mars, a small, toxic and energy poor planet that just about seems good enough for a colony of depressed humans huddled in underground cities.
But what if we think bigger? What if we take Venus, one of the most hostile and deadly places in the solar system and turn it into a colony? Not by building lofty cloud cities, but by creating a proper second earth? It might be easier than you think.

Thanks to our friends from Skillshare for supporting this channel!
they got into this time to meme what?
Has the trial been used up?
WHICH ONE IS BETTER EARTH THAT IS RULED BY POLITICS OR EARTH THAT IS RULED BY SCIENCE
Well I’m broke
cool
Bruh, if we can turn any planet into Earth, than why can’t we turn Earth back into Earth?
@DK Pain
@weasel but it is the top 1% who are racing for mars.
Because we cant turn any planet into earth lol
@atur chomicz what did I say that was fascist?
@Hély Lemarié Exactly this, Humanity never developed to be able to go outside their birthplace. Sad Reality huh
that co2 moon will probably be used to make coke and other drinks
ur def a discord mod
Prob
@w.t. burton carbonated water seems nice wdym
In order to ensure the security and continuing profitability, the republic will be re-organized into the first galactic corporation! For safe and secure Coca-Cola company!
Knowing America that would happen
Rip birb who sacrificed himself to show us how hostile venus’s surface is.
bird*
@Michael r/woooosh
Respect to the camerabirb for filming all of this for thousand of years
@Michael I am genuinely disappointed in humanity because of you.
Kurzgesagt: “How to terraform Venus (quickly)”
Also Kurzgesagt: “It would take several thousand years to make the athmosphere breathable.”
@TrangleC yes i see you commenting in other section and everybody is getting triggered
Idiots dont like correction
*Freely* Breathable. It would still take a couple hundred to get it to the point where you wouldn’t need a suit, just an air tank. But you wouldn’t stop at that point because that can’t support life freely.
The averange terraforming shenanigans can even last millions of years so…
Lol
I’d already decided to just save it under ‘How to Terraform Venus”.
Actually, we are rushing the exact opposite process: terraforming Earth into a second Venus.
@AncapFTW You don’t know how evolution works, I’m guessing… There would be no issue with climate change if species (and the entire ecosystems they are a part of) could just magically adapt to new environments over the course of a few decades or even centuries. In reality, that’s too fast. It normally takes hundreds of thousands, to even millions, of years for a species to adjust to changes in their environments. That’s usually fine, because the natural rate of climate change is extremely slow. Going back to what the Earth was like 3.5 billion years ago by releasing all carbon into the atmosphere would decimate life on Earth. Nothing is fit to survive in that world.
@No Name because of reality.
@AncapFTW Nope. Not even remotely because of reality. Because of delusion like yours.
@Eduardo Resende /woosh
@Junko Enoshima I think as planets get closer to the sun, it’s inevitable that liquids will turn to gasses. It is not caused by the release of the gas it is the cause of the release of gas. If you want to understand climate change, try to understand why co2 levels were much higher a very long time ago.
It’s actually pretty simple. Co2=food for plants more co2=more food for plants= more oxygen to add to the atmosphere since the co2 is converted into oxygen by plants. There’s fossils and data that show us much higher co2 and oxygen levels make for more robust and healthy life within that atmosphere. There was an extinction level event which created unfathomable amounts of carbon instantly. Where is this carbon today and why aren’t we Venus?
“Small, toxic, and energy poor…” same Mars same
With a G.E.C.K a inhospitable planet like mars can be terraformed.
“We just need to dump a giant ice cube in the ocean every couple years”
Lol nice Futurama reference
So essentially what you’re saying is, we could fix Venus by just slightly less work/time/money than just building a brand new planet from scratch. lol
Yeah. O’Neil cylinders for the win.
Move along, checkmark
@Typhon Nah, I’m good. Been watching this channel since long before I had a checkmark.
O’Neil cylinders people, O’Neil cylinders
@Rodrigo Velasquez woooooosh
People saying “why we don’t fix the planet then”, first, this video is talking about something in the far future, not that we are capable of doing it right now, second, this video isn’t saying we can’t fix earth with the same technology.
The primary problem is that this literally requires freezing the planet to -80°C so we’d all be dead before it works
