Abstract
Although our planet’s “twin” in any other aspect and object of several terraformation
scenarios, Venus is a very difficult target for human settlement. Due to its extreme
atmospheric pressure and temperature, it is the most inhospitable celestial body in our
Solar System.
This does not mean that terraforming it cannot be done, but in order to do it in a
reasonable time, some technologies that are currently out of our reach need to be
applied. Wormholes are the best option, coupled with some large-scale megastructure
buildings, plus “regular” planetary engineering means. Fortunately, even if it seems
like SF, scientists are currently making serious advances towards achieving such
technologies.
At the end of the process, Venus could be transformed into the most habitable world in
our System, a true paradise.
