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.

Imagine aliens had the technology to do this and watches this video
I Love these videoes, honestly.
However, wouldn't it be easier to… you know… go against the nature of humanity and leave Venus alone?
Yeah, Yeah, wouldn't be much fun or interesting or anything like that… But it would show the universe a lot of care and restraint. who knows? By showing how much we care for things, we could earn our place in the stars…?
Smallfry Spotted! 7:49
Some thousands years are honestly nothing when you look at the Earth's history. However, who is going to pay for such a huge project, and how do we make sure that the dedication to do so survives over the centuries? It will be difficult to terraform any planet if it takes us too long
What if we terraform the Sahara and poles
Would the sun have a comparable impact on the tide to the moon?
But it's scary if the sun shield breaks or something :/
What kind of energy would it take to alter Venus' day/night cycle by increasing its angular velocity? At a guess I'd say "hilariously more than we could possibly apply" but I figure this is a place to ask questions.
Nah, this really is stupid. We're mich better off deconstructing Mercury and building space habitats.
It would be sad if humand that live now wont be able to experience this travel and our new Earth do we could go to a big "sleep" by freezing our bodies for frickin 1000 years or even more💀💀but im right tho aren't I?
I really like the ideas here, but i must say that's so difficult that i believe it will never happen, but who knows what the distant future hold to us.
I don't know man… this looks STUPIDLY simplified… A LOT of Deus Ex Machina there
We need to create nanobots that emulate some characterists of bacterias and that are able to est the atmosphere and produce the elements we need.
by 8:15 I realised our "terraforming" was getting too complicated to be feasible
People forget how lucky we are to have a nice plump planet with decent gravity, plenty of CHNOPS, and magnetic shielding.
wait, wouldn;t catapulting it to venus have a short window to occur?
Imagination is only think stopping you
Money:am I a joke to you
I hope these kinds of stuff happens in the future and amazing video man :]
This doesn't take into account the rotation rate of Venus. Mirrors wouldn't work forever and eventually the planet is gonna bake again.
If humans go to some other planet the rest of species will be safe,even if some stay back atleast we will get some other place to extract resources an backup and reduce impact on earth
We should find a way to transfer co2 from venus to mars
10:16 foreshadowing
Watching this video makes me think if your videos about the future of medicine are also complete bugus fantasy instead of achievable stuff. Because I don't know much about the medicine world, but I sure know enough about this to know this scenario here is complete utter science fiction garbage, can't understand why even bother making a video with this kind of content
I bet on Venus over Mars as more feasible.
"it'll take a few generations to complete" terraforming Venus at that time would probably be wasting time, humanity shoud probably start working on a spaceship(s) to get them farther away from the Sun
New plan go to mars for a couple thosand years then go to venus and then realize we fucked up again
They should start right now, so I can at least live to see the beginning stages.
I hope you get to do what if we terraform Jupiter Neptune Pluto Saturn and Uranus
thanks, will try 100%
N'importe quoi ! Qu'est-ce qu'il faut pas entendre…
Il faudrait probablement moins de 1% de tous ces moyens, de temps, de motivation et d'imagination pour terraformer la Terre elle-même et mettre fin à notre empreinte désastreuse.
Vous cherchez des solutions ailleurs pour oublier où se trouvent nos problèmes concrets.
Why not seed the upper atmosphere with blue-green algae? Grow it easily and once it starts feeding on CO2 it will release oxygen. Start there.
We have a book that deals with the universe, if you want us to put the book out for SALE, you will have to subscribe.
Venus lacks a Magnetosphere, it has an induced magnetosphere as a result of interaction between the planets dense ionosphere and solar winds, but this would obviously change as the atmosphere is altered to make it like Earths, so you would also need to create a magnetic field to protect your colonised worlds inhabitants and water from solar radiation!
NASA like actually needs to hire you for a future planning and design
We terraform Venus over a thousand something years, next thing you know, we have the Venusian Earthling wars because we destroyed all the history of how we got there. Probably over some fictional storybook someone wrote a couple hundred years earlier.
What's up with the random "coronavirus" graphic when talking about the mirror to freeze Venus' atmosphere at 3:52?
This shit is the most unbelievably ridiculous stretch of what’s possible. This would take a fully cooperative earth completely driven for this one task and to complete it slowly destroy itself to manage the resources. It would starve the planet of everything to be sent to Venus to complete a second earth with nothing built there completely kept alive by massive mirrors. This is so stupid
If we terraform venus in the far future we need one continent named bruh beta
Terraform uranus next 😉
Even if uranus is gaseous
We can choose not to bring hostile poisonus frogs to our new planet
ıts really mad
