| Mar 8, 2016 at 1:05 | comment | added | Hendrik Lie | Well, yes, I just realized it. Venus high gravity makes it as hard to escape from it as it is from earth to space. I think asteroid is the viable option as of now, as it is on moon. | |

For colonists in the Asteroids, they can create rotating habs which can simulate Earth gravity, and still gain the economic benefits of cheap access to resources and low deltaV cost to move material and people around the solar system. | |
| Mar 5, 2016 at 20:22 | comment | added | o.m. | @HendrikLie, I don't think it makes sense in your timeframe. The launch capacity from Earth won't even remotely fill the available space on Mars or Luna. Perhaps Venus habitats are in the plans, one or two generations later, but for the beginning it is just too hostile, even compared to places like Mars or Luna. | |
| Mar 5, 2016 at 16:04 | comment | added | Hendrik Lie | The original idea is that they know other factions also settle on Mars and moon. Given that the first colonists bring a lot of inflatable pods, and put their main ship in orbit while reaching the inflatable habitat on the clouds using their shuttles. So supplies could be send to the orbit from other places in solar system. Isn't that provide enough motive to colonizing Venus? The gravity would be so similar to earth that further generation of humans wouldn't have weakened bones due to low gravity, and I think it would provide enough motivation for other colonies to keep sending them supplies. | |
