I think the first colonists would bring with them a lot of deployable floating platforms. I think that they are not descending their ships directly, instead they'd use their ship as orbital platforms and deploy smaller inflatable pods to the atmosphere, then reach it using shuttles. That way they could manufacture more pods using resources send on Venus orbit from elsewhere in solar system, instead of manufacturing them on the floating platform. | |

Each ship needs an engineer, a surgeon, etc. But the colonists definitely don't want to put all of their eggs into one basket, either. And the chance for survival will be greatly enhanced if the first colonists arrive before the last colonists (and the last supplies) depart. Such a hurried plan would be bound for forget something. Think of the first wave as the lab rats. | |

I have to agree with problems involved in deploying floating platform for them to live in. At maximum a floating platform would not be able to hold hundreds of people. | |
