OceanGate’s cofounder wants to send 1,000 people to a floating colony on Venus by 2050, and says we shouldn’t stop pushing the limits of innovation
this lends credence to the stealth comrade theory, btw

@kuna Also note that at that altitude, the temperature in Venus’s stratosphere is a positively freezing 30 ℃ or so.
The real problem is that Venus is short on hydrogen, so getting back up into orbit from the Venusian stratosphere … well, good luck with that.
(It’d make a good platform for a crewed research station, but a lousy prospect for colonization.)
