[QUOTE]Originally posted by Gaseous Anomaly: [QB] Bernd: yeah, Riker said that one could see Lake Armstrong, along with Tycho City and New Berlin on a clear day. Well I can't, and I've been straining for days.-; I still think Venus is a viable planet for terraforming to be used on, as it has about the right mass and location for a sustainable ecosystem. Once the terraformers had gotten rid of the mainly-CO2 atmosphere and replaced it with something more useful to life as we know it, why wouldn't life thrive upon it's once-arid surface? I once read that an astronaut landing on the surface of Venus would be simultaneously suffocated (CO2 [i]atmosphere[/i]), flattened (by the [i]atmospheric[/i] pressure) and roasted (by the insane +650K temperature that the [i]atmosphere[/i] helps maintain). His remains would then be disintegrated by the ferocious lightening that scars Venus' surface, and lightening comes frome where? That's right. The [i]Atomsphere[/i]. IMO (not a humble one, mind), changing the atmosphere would be high on my list of priorities if I were terraforming any planet. [/QB][/QUOTE]
