3/ Plus, even once you get most of the atmosphere removed somehow, the surface temperature is around 900° F. Radiating that away is not going to be easy!

4/ Absolutely huge sun shields orbiting the planet, or placed in its L1 point, to put Venus into perpetual darkness, and letting it radiate into the void for centuries would be a good start.

11/ yeah, I love terraforming as an author, but IRL I think that we'll colonize the entire solar system in planetary domes, tunnels, Bernal spheres, O'Neil tubes, and Standford toruses.https://twitter.com/forsoothic/status/1500858662843297803 …
