i appreciate any billionaire addition to the human potential club but this is extremely not true. there’s almost nothing of value on the moon and it can’t (practically speaking) be terraformed. given current technology, mars is the only way forward.https://twitter.com/trengriffin/status/1086740028951162881 …

I would not waste resources sending gases to mars. Use all that energy on venus surface to break down co2 in venus, and bring more water from asteroids or frozen moons in the giants gas planets.Terraforming venus would be hard, but not an unknown risk like mars(which is hard too)
venus is far, far harder — atmospheric pressure destroys anything we’re capable of sending, literally crushes it to nothing, then burns it away with acid. plus half the planet is almost perpetually dark, the other half scorching hot.

You wouldn't build on the surface. You'd basically float a city on the high atomospheric pressure like Bespin. At something like 5km above the surf. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BI-old7YI4I&t=17s …

we’re talking about massive engineering innovation here. for mars, everything we need we have.
