    By the way there are 5 planned Missions to Venus (2 by NASA, 1 by ESA (europe), 1 by ISRO (india) and 1 by Roscosmos (Russia)) starting around the end of the decade and there are additional proposed missions too. So don't worry Venus will get it's share of Missions. :)

    The mirror problem could probably be solved if we can speed up Venus's rotation. There's no easy way to do this (meteorite bombardment wouldn't work, and would probably ruin the surface), but if the span of time is thousands of years, we might be able to get a more reasonable, natural day-night cycle using an orbital ring to eject bits of Venus (or a constant stream of particles) at relativistic speeds. This would impart Venus with increased rotational momentum. It could be done while all the other terraforming is being done, so we might not have increase the timeframe of the project. Then again, as much as we need to change the rotational speed, we might have to settle for the mirrors for a very long time

    12:40 There are. Probably in the early solar system Venus was covered by oceans and it could sustein life. However, since it didn't have a magnetic field and it rotated too slow, it turned into an horrible enviroment. In any case, I reccomand you the video "The largest black hole in the universe". Believe me, it's worthy to be seen

    No, that probably isn't what happened. It is believed that Venus was victim to a colossal volcanic event the likes of which Earth has never seen. Venus doesn't have efficient continental plates like Earth and behaves sort of like a potato in a microwave. If Venus erupted, it would blown the surface of the crust apart and enormous volumes of magma and gases would have been released. All in all, terraforming Venus would be cool until it has another eruption.

    Yes Terraforming is hard and complicated. The simple truth of space colonization is there's really no place OTHER than Earth but that should not stop us from trying. Terraforming may be the far future but we have the capability to do it eventually, and really we can colonize space with the technology we have it just won't be easy or simple and really won't be the dreamy paradise most people imagine. Further in most cases of Terraforming you will be maintaining this system constantly because given a chance all these changes will eventually revert. We have the technology that they mentioned today, we don't have the capability to put it into place in the scale or depth that's needed but we have mass drivers, solar mirrors and all the rest what's needed is the incentive, the will and the infrastructure to get it all done. (And I'll point out that technically if we can Terraform Mars or Venus we likely could just as easily BUILD a world in the form of a large space colony in open space so there's that :) ) Venus is a hard planet to study since landing on it requires (essentially) a probe designed to survive deep sea pressures at the same time as heat that will melt lead. We're most likely going to have to work from probes and platforms floating in the upper atmosphere of Venus that send down occasional surface probes to learn more. Such probes can be designed to float back up into the higher atmosphere to cool off and deliver surface samples but again it's not going to be quick or easy to do which is why Mars gets the most attention :) One thing that hasn't gotten a lot of attention is the idea that if you look at it closely Mars is lacking in atmosphere while Venus has to much so finding a way to 'transfer' the excess atmosphere from Venus to Mars would go a long way towards 'solving' both planets issues. One idea is to use sun-orbiting, solar powered laser beams (yes "lasers" again :) ) to 'skim' atmosphere off the top of Venus and 'transport' it to Mars. The logistics are daunting, (as is the technology) but no more so than most ideas of Terraforming either planet. @16:20: You're describing "fission" not "fusion" in the former atoms are split to release energy in a self sustaining reaction, in the latter atoms are 'fused' together to create energy and the big thing about the latest breakthrough is that we managed to get a fusion reaction which released more energy than it took to create the fusion. Ya it's a big thing :)

    Well there is one unsolvable issue with mars, and that is because mars is so small, its always going to have low gravity, which is probably not good for us. And nothing can be done about that, even if you threw the entire asteroid belt, including the dwarf planet Ceres at it, it still wouldn't increase its mass enough to be in par with earth, where as Venus is already almost earth like in terms of surface gravity. That is what makes venus a more attractive option for full terraforming.

    If we one day developed a way of moving entire moons we could move Europa to Venus, take the water/ice from closer to Venus, and Venus would have it own moon with what's left of Europa. This means Venus world be more like Earth and have its own tides. If we can do this then maybe we could speed up the rotation of Venus and have a 24 hour day, then get rid of the mirrors. Voila, a 2nd Earth, simple as that.
