Comment on Boring ass planet

Go visit the weird ass nature reserves from your spinning space habitat.

That’s certainly an option, but right now it seems most space agencies are totally ignoring Venus as a possibility, and are focused on a Mars colony.

Well Mars colony would be easier at the moment.
As much as I don’t particularly like the man I think Bezos was right. We already have a place with ideal gravity. The future should be orbiting colonies. Imagine processes that could be done under fully controlled conditions.
