For Science. And because Venus will be farming planet. They say floating cities but really it would have to be floating farms. All that Co2 and N Days that are 243 earth days long = cabbages the size of houses.

Take it a step further, hollow out the cabbages, move in.

Now there is the spirit unfortunately you gotta bring your own water and potassium as well as pretty much everything other than CO2 , Nitrogen and Sulfur.

I'm like 90% sure there would be a way to gather hydrogen and oxygen from the atmosphere and get water.

Unfortunately it would be heavy water The Veneral deuterium/hydrogen ratio tips drastically to the deuterium side.

I was thinking if maybe there was a way to condense the solar wind with a big ole negatively charged field. What do you get when you mix superheated hydrogen ions and [C]O2?

I left out a C

A bad joke.

And there's no way to make that work towards our means?

I looked it up Methane and Water a big wet fart. So you are correct about the bad joke.

Heavy water is used as a coolant in reactors but energy is cheap on Venus and heavy metals are not.
