OceanGate’s cofounder wants to send 1,000 people to a floating colony on Venus by 2050, and says we shouldn’t stop pushing the limits of innovation
this lends credence to the stealth comrade theory, btw

the Venera probes failed because they were sent up by commies, our captains of industry will effortlessly outshine their Marxist works

@kuna Also note that at that altitude, the temperature in Venus’s stratosphere is a positively freezing 30 ℃ or so.
The real problem is that Venus is short on hydrogen, so getting back up into orbit from the Venusian stratosphere … well, good luck with that.
(It’d make a good platform for a crewed research station, but a lousy prospect for colonization.)
