Terraforming Venus - is it really necessary?

Would it be possible to construct buildings on or just below the surface of Venus that are capable of withstanding the immense heat and pressure? Terraforming by artificial means is not necessary unless you plan on going there in the nude. I’d have to say that it’s quite technically possible to survive as is, and no doubt the extremely nearby planet Venus is therefore perfectly doable for most intelligent humans other than naked and typically dumbfounded Goldilocks types that can’t seem to think outside their cozy mainstream status-quo box, such as our resident GOP/ZNR rednecks and their fellow FUD-masters that couldn’t manage to survive even if we turned parts of Venus into another Eden for hosting fast-food vendors and the next Winter Olympics (naturally indoors). This is not to say each and every volcano and/or terrific geothermal vent is going to be safe to visit. However, some geothermal vents are likely spewing hot and dense mineral brines instead of vapors, or even spewing hydrocarbons that at 90+ bar could seem as though acting kind of hydrodynamic. The local pressure and/or rather substantial atmospheric density and 90% gravity is really not a problem for accommodating our genetics or physiology as long as everything gets fully equalized over a safe period of time, and you manage to keep yourself within +/- .2 bar/ hr(+/- 3 psi/hr) should remain as equalized without complications, and otherwise that is also a rather nifty environment unless you don't happen to like having 10% less gravity, terrific 65 kg/m3 buoyancy and otherwise extremely good protection from cosmic and solar radiation, as well as always being nicely protected from meteors and even from encountering small asteroids should not be a problem because most of those simply can’t get through the dense atmospheric soup. Breathing an artificial mix of 99% H2 and 1 % O2 should easily extend that range of atmospheric pressure change per hour to an acceptable +/- 2 Bar (+/- 29 psi)/hr, although a km elevation change in that lower atmosphere is worth 4.1 bar(roughly 60 psi), so it might not be advisable to exceed any change in elevation greater than 17 meters/ minute unless some additional pressure equalization techniques are utilized. There’s certainly never going to be any shortage of hydrogen, and even O2 can’t honestly be in short supply as long as you basically know what you are doing. Heat management: R-1024/meter of thermal insulation is also not a technical nor logistical problem (especially when the application environment is relatively dry and CO2 inert), as easily created from local basalt that’s effectively processed from all of the locally renewable energy that's damn near unlimited for creating basalt milliballoons (filled or displaced with hydrogen would simulate a super-atom shell or electron cloud that wouldn’t compress, offering a microballoon product density of roughly 104 kg/m3 or as an assembled structural element of as little as 64 kg/m3 once the local buoyancy and gravity are accounted for) and of course we’d have those terrific fibers, although we could always use Silica Aerogel of only 2 kg/m3, means that enclosed Silica Aerogel (such as within the structural shell of a composite rigid airship or within geometric building blocks that contain those basalt milli and micro-spheres) could easily allow its volume to become worth -63 kg buoyant unless that Silica Aerogel compresses and/or equalizes to a slightly greater than atmospheric density, of which enclosed and displaced with hydrogen should easily prevent. http://www.aerogel.org/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerogel Utilized as part of the structural composite: “It has remarkable thermal insulative properties, having an extremely low thermal conductivity: from 0.03 W/m·K[9] down to 0.004 W/m·K,[6] which correspond to R-values of 14 to 105 for 3.5 inch thickness. For comparison, typical wall insulation is 13 for 3.5 inch thickness. Its melting point is 1,473 K (1,200 °C or 2,192 °F).” The distinct advantage to utilizing uncrushable microspheres or millispheres is that their volumetric density doesn’t change, and the static loading and/or its surface loading capability is truly impressive. This gets even better when the surrounding fill or matrix of whatever binder offers a similar tough ability. Even fluffy or highly porous ceramics are not going to be terribly dense. Basalt as refined and made into fused glass microspheres or even using larger millispheres as having a volumetric true sphere displacement mass of 104 kg/m3, with a crush rating in excess of 9.5e3 bar (138e3 psi), and each hollow sphere offering its 85.7% cavity volume for enclosing H2 at less than 0.1 bar (whereas the H2 sure as hell isn’t going to leak out, nor is any CO2 ever going to leak in). In other words, basalt glass spheres put into a composite structural geometric element application (filling 65% by volume) are going to half way float in that atmospheric soup of 65 kg/m3 buoyancy, because that atmospheric density and the local 90.5% gravity is only making it so much better. Perhaps using a silica gel displacement (35% by volume) as the microballoon geometric fill matrix/binder could also be applied. http://composites.poly.edu/Publicati...tic%20foam.pdf http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3...W HB23F5LMRgl http://www.esa.int/gsp/completed/030910ESTEC16292.pdf Clearly high temperature capable materials offering exceptional insulation and a robust structural composite that’s impervious to most anything the Venus environment has to offer, is simply not technically an insurmountable problem.

That’s exactly correct, whereas the geothermal upwelling of 20.5 w/m2 is going to remain extremely problematic, not that solar influx isn’t making it kind of worse. William Mook can create and deploy trillions upon trillions of those highly reflective nanobots that could manage to keep themselves only on the sunward side, acting as a highly reflective fog above those already reflective clouds. Actually even better, is using hydrogen filled robotic airships that are each offering 1e6 m2, as a relatively flat disk shape of 1.13 km diameter and always laying horizontally flat with their highly reflective gold mylar facing sunward, could prove quite nifty for a multitude of terrific reasons other than contributing shade and improving the average albedo. If these highly reflective airships averaged 100 meters thick, we’re talking about a 1e8 m3 airship, that within 1% of its volume could house at least a community of a hundred humans, along with some pets, livestock and just about anything else you’d care to pack along. In order to accomplish any significant shading, there’s have to be at last a million of these saucer shaped airships, so that accommodating 100 million of us without ever setting one hot foot onto that geothermally heated surface seems like kind of a good idea. Perhaps Monsanto or even Nalco that makes Corexit and other highly toxic substances for hydrocarbon butt covering, can devise a molecular modifier for CO2 and S8 that'll reflect at something near 90% by day, and automatically convert to a fully transparent cryogenic layer by night, then somehow revert back to reflecting by day. On the other hand, our extremely nearby and mostly geothermally heated Venus is at least technically doable for us as is. Terraforming by artificial means is probably not going to be necessary unless you plan on going there in the nude. I’d have to say that it’s quite technically possible to survive as is, and no doubt the extremely nearby planet Venus is therefore perfectly doable for most intelligent humans other than naked and typically dumbfounded Goldilocks types that can’t seem to think outside their cozy mainstream status-quo box, such as our resident GOP/ZNR rednecks and their fellow FUD-masters that couldn’t manage to survive even if we turned parts of Venus into another Eden for hosting fast-food vendors and the next Winter Olympics (naturally indoors).

Whereas going to Venus in the nude as a dumbfounded Goldilocks should remain as highly problematic. Otherwise that terrific atmosphere itself is an ideal freon, so to speak, because a little compressed CO2 on Venus goes into its supercritical liquid phase rather easily, and from that you can air condition yourself all the way down to becoming dry ice (-78 C, 195 K), if you like. Add a little helium and you can go for running a super collider. So, I really don’t see what the big insurmountable deal is about the ambient surface temperatures, other than you wouldn’t want to set yourself over a geothermal vent (of which there are thousands) or try to trek directly over any given volcanic hot spot of recent magma. Here's that same old original cloudless GIF composite radar obtained image file (as raw and not having been enlargement processed) that our mainstream status-quo has been so deathly afraid others might actually look at: http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/imgcat/hi...c115s095_1.gif Without even downloading the GIF monochrome image, you can still screen zoom-in on the small area in question (less than 10% of the composite FOV), so as to keeping the raw 1:1 pixel format and its rather limited resolution of 225 meters/pixel, and thereby have yourself a perfectly good look-see at interpreting whatever that sort of 225 meter per pixel resolution has to offer. Here’s one of my basic 10:1 resampled enlargements of the very same area that I’ve pointed out to NASA and others of their Magellan team for more than the past decade, that’s still a generic composite derivative like their original: http://docs.google.com/View?id=ddsdxhv_0hrm5bdfj If you’d care to focus on anything specific, please do so, because I’m not certain that my interpretation of what the image depicts is offering the best or only option. First of all, I kind of doubt the surface is significantly cooler than reported, however the most recent ESA data via their Venus EXPRESS mission has been reveling considerable atmospheric thermal differentials that haven't been reported and/or published by others as having previously had essentially the same or better science data to go by. Those polar surface temperatures could be considerably cooler due to them strong atmospheric vortex considerations that's causing such upper nighttime cryogenic atmosphere to draw energy from the much hotter lower atmosphere and it’s geothermally heated surface. What we have here to look at and deductively interpret is simply a fair number of unusually complex geometric patterns, of somewhat unusually unified or associated pixels that don't seem to be of entirely random geology happenstance. However, there are a number of quite large and unusual items that should be considered as natural, such as the "fluid arch" and perhaps even that extremely large clover shaped reservoir could be considered as perfectly natural (even though the geology of Earth offers us nothing remotely close to such size or geometric unified complexity). However, that extensive and complex tarmac/airstrip as offering such an unusually flat item situated within that mountainous terrain simply isn't as likely to be formed by natural geology we know of, nor is that highly unusual bridge item and those multiple other large scale items of a nearby community of geometric shapes and a their rational community like setting, of what seems rather artificially structural and rational infrastructure worthy is what should be closely reviewed by others to see if any or all of those could have been formed by natural processes. Of course there will always be those in perpetual denial, as well as obfuscating their FUD-master butts off in order to disqualify my discovery and any associated topics, but then you’re not required to read any of those disparaging replies unless you want a good laugh, or a good cry because of how your government and its faith-based support has systematically failed you on so many levels. http://groups.google.com/group/googl...t/topics?hl=en http://groups.google.com/group/guth-usenet/topics?hl=en http://www.wanttoknow.info/ http://translate.google.com/# Brad Guth, Brad_Guth, Brad.Guth, BradGuth, BG / “Guth Usenet” |

However, there are a number of quite large and unusual items that should be considered as natural, such as the "fluid arch" and perhaps even that extremely large clover shaped reservoir could be considered as perfectly natural (even though the geology of Earth offers us nothing remotely close to such size or geometric unified complexity). However, that extensive and complex tarmac/airstrip as offering such an unusually flat item situated within that mountainous terrain simply isn't as likely to be formed by natural geology we know of, nor is that highly unusual bridge item and those multiple other large scale items of a nearby community of geometric shapes and a their rational community like setting, of what seems rather artificially structural and rational infrastructure worthy is what should be closely reviewed by others to see if any or all of those could have been formed by natural processes. Of course there will always be those in perpetual denial, as well as obfuscating their FUD-master butts off in order to disqualify my discovery and any associated topics, but then you’re not required to read any of those disparaging replies unless you want a good laugh, or a good cry because of how your government and its faith-based support has systematically failed you on so many levels. http://groups.google.com/group/googl...t/topics?hl=en http://groups.google.com/group/guth-usenet/topics?hl=en http://www.wanttoknow.info/ http://translate.google.com/# Brad Guth, Brad_Guth, Brad.Guth, BradGuth, BG / “Guth Usenet” |
