Let Me Explain A Bunch Of Reasons To Colonize Venus Before Mars!
632Geoffrey Landis, 70, from Columbus, Ohio, is a NASA physicist and prolific science fiction writer, award-winning for a novel titled "The City of Clouds." It's a story about David Tinkerman, a technician living on Mars who accompanies scientist Leah Hamakawa, whom he's secretly in love with, on a journey to Venus. As soon as he enters the atmosphere, Tinkerman describes what he sees:
"The surface of Venus is a place of crushing pressure and hellish temperature. Rise above it, though, and the pressure eases, the temperature cools. Fifty kilometers above the surface, at the base of the clouds, the temperature is tropical, and the pressure the same as Earth normal. Twenty kilometers above that, the air is thin and polar cold. Drifting between these two levels are the ten thousand floating cities of Venus."
Published 15 years ago, Landis's novel is based on rigorous scientific concepts, and surely at its release contributed to launching alternative colonization scenarios beyond those aimed solely at the Martian surface.
Sure, giving credibility to the possibility that one day there could be floating cities in Venus's atmosphere requires a huge shift in perspective... But ultimately, why not?
