If your DNA doesn't like those nasty energy spectrums of gamma and
Xrays, then by all means POOF VL2 and/or best the toasty surface of,
or for certain that of cruising just above the deck of Venus is for
you.

For other than having to cope with the little extra to/from commute,
POOF VL2 is better off than anything related to surviving onboard ISS/
ESS, however for those souls brave enough for getting situated well
enough below those relatively cool nighttime clouds of Venus, is by
far offering the most solar and/or cosmic energy isolation in town.

Unless Venus itself is terribly radioactive (of which in spots like
our cosmic and solar energy collective morgue of a moon has to deal
with, whereas Venus most certainly should be in places rather nicely
radioactive since it's somewhat newer than Earth to begin with),
whereas you and your frail DNA would be much better off situated below
such acidic clouds or possibly as directly upon the toasty surface of
Venus (not each and every m2 is as hot as the next), as offering fewer
rad/year and thereby better off for our frail DNA than living on Earth
that's losing its protective magnetosphere at the ongoing demise of -.
05%/year, of which will only further lead our badly failing
environment towards more atmospheric tonnage loss from that point on,
thereby compounding as to further affecting our loss of solar/cosmic
shield benefits, that which our frail DNA can barely manage as is to
survive without showing signs of skin and internal DNA damage.

However, at the nearly 100 bar nighttime worth of the Venusian surface
environment, whereas that thick and terribly buoyant S8/Co2 atmosphere
is going to provide an extremely good amount of shield density against
whatever's locally radioactive. Therefore, even up against some of
the most radioactive locations on Venus are not going to impose all
that much local trauma to those of us in our cozy Ovglove jump suits,
or much less affecting those of us cruising efficiently nearby in our
composite rigid airship.

There's actually much fewer negative aspects of artificially
sustaining life on Venus than positive ones. Most everything about
Venus is actually working on our behalf, including the matter of fact
that's its often so extremely nearby, and otherwise just as it has
been doing so on behalf of accommodating those other smart ETs or
possibly locals as having been doing their natural thing in a very big
and obvious way.
