Many scientists believe it would be possible to maintain a permanent human presence on Mars or the Moon. On the other hand, conditions on Venus are so extreme and inhospitable that maintaining a human presence there would be impossible.
First, atmospheric pressure at Venus’ surface is at least 90 times greater than the pressure at Earth’s surface. This means that a force of 100 kilograms is pressing down on every square centimeter of surface. All spacecraft that have landed on Venus have been crushed by this extreme pressure within an hour of landing. Almost anything humans might land on Venus would be crushed as well.
Second, as far as we know, there are no reservoirs of water on Venus’ surface, and the planet’s atmosphere, made up mostly of carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and sulfuric acid, contains hardly any oxygen or water vapor. Water and oxygen would therefore probably have to be supplied to Venus from Earth. The idea of ensuring a regular supply of water and oxygen from Earth is impractical in the extreme and would probably defeat the purpose of establishing a permanent station on Venus.
Third, very little sunlight reaches the planet’s surface. About 60 percent of the sunlight that hits Venus is reflected back into space by the thick clouds that fill the atmosphere, which means that only 40 percent of the sunlight can get through the clouds. Below these clouds is a dense layer of carbon dioxide, which blocks even more light, so very little light reaches the surface. The lack of light would prevent the use of solar power cells, so humans could not get electricity to power their machines and equipment.
The proposal holds that maintaining a permanent human presence on Venus is certainly not without challenge, but not impossible. it put forth the idea of launching a space station that floats in the atmosphere of Venus instead of on the surface.
To begin with, the reading passage pointed out that the pressure at Venus' surface is more than 90 times that on earth. However, the lecture argues that if the station floats 50 kilometers above the surface, the pressure will be equal to that on earth, which certainly will not crush the station.
The passage also referred to the composition of Venus' atmosphere, which contains little oxygen or water vapor. But as it also mentioned, there are carbon dioxide, nitrogen and other chemical compounds in the atmosphere that can be transformed into water and oxygen through chemical reactions in the space station. So we will not have to transfer water or oxygen from Earth at all.
Furthermore, the passage announced that 60 percent of sunlight is reflected by the thick clouds in Venus' atmosphere. This will hardly become a problem because where the station floats the cloud is not very thick. Not only will the station be able to utilize the sunlight that directly hits its solar cells, but also it can take advantage of the sunlight reflected from the clouds below. Therefore the once-thought drawback becomes an advantage.
