IRIS-AsteronX & The Eos Project

It’s popular to talk of terraforming Venus.

But short of this, the ultimate culmination of Venus settlement is the total encapsulation of the planet in an airtight sheet.

This is known as a “Type-2 shellworld”, a world with several concentric habitable layers.

Specifically, a type-2 shellworld has one or more habitable layers supported by gas pressure.

We could turn Venus into such a world one day by building an equatorial “tape” of connected floating habitats.

This would later be expanded until the poles were reached, forming a continuous artificial habitable surface, the atmosphere above could then be made breathable and the habitat’s roofs removed.

In this way Venus, or even an ice giant like Neptune could house hundreds of millions, even billions.

What you're describing is a type one shell world. A type two shell world utilizes atlas pillars to hold up solid shells of habitable living space in layers like an onion

Edit: okay I had that completely wrong. A type one shell world is one where each of the layers of the world are supported by hyperstrong pillars, a type 2 shell world is supported by fluid pressure, and a type 3 shell world is supported by dynamic active support structures.

Btw Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, and even URanus is already colonized by the past

I'm sure there will be safeties in place, but there will also be the few who fall off, and then descend through toxic, very very hot, and very dense layers until they hit the solid ground. It will be a pretty gruesome death.

Now THAT is what a nonbinary voice sounds like. My genitals' response was very confused

Wouldn't it be possible to suck CO2 and Split the molecule? Carbon Turn into blocks or structures?

breathing helium ohh hehe ok???Quite as good for all type micro beauties thoughts on itself is powerful enough to be realizes itself can absorb the waves that created it is the one of sorts creating a multitude sensory experience money wont buy it's ability to realise how much we spend time with density a leading scaled down versions is nice being hugely successful umm sort of.
