    (yeah so i know mars is MUCH colder, before i get crap for that. but it's easier to heat and insulate a building or a room than to fill it with highly compressed gas and fly it miles above the surface of a planet. and is it not also easier to drill for and electrolyse ice than to send water and oxygen and food to venus by rocket?)

    sentinal-5: 1. Breathable air is a lifting gas on Venus. 2. You can't breathe Mars air either. 3. The atmospheric pressure is roughly earthlike there, and as I said- breathable air is a lifting gas there so you don't need to make it.

    yeah but there is also not much of it, not to mention the fact that it's actively toxic to humans... there's not much point colonising an atmosphere you can't breathe and need massively heavy hydrogen balloons to stay at a survivable altitude in just because it's the right temperature. it would make infinitely more sense to colonise the poles of mars. somewhere with water ice. we have experience living in the cold thanks to places on earth like Helsinki and the polar bases.

    Joey22jordison: I said its upper atmosphere, which is roughly room temperature. 60 km up.

    @Tangle10, Venus have temperature +400C

    Venus' upper atmosphere could also be colonized!

    RULERULTAMIS: Nah, only some of them. Also, Jupiter keeps the asteroid belt itself in check.

    Only issue with Jupiter being our "Shield", is that our "shield" also launches the space rocks it protects us from, at us. So it kind of negates its shielding effect by also trying to kill us at the same time.

    TheExus: What? You mean Io, which is one of Jupiter's moons? Saturn has no hot moons. Io is hot because the gravity from its fellow moons along with Jupiter's gravity tugs and pulls on it, heating it up.
