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.
There is constant drumbeat over whether it is possible to live on Venus. While in the reading passage, the author pointed out that there are three main reasons why it would be impossible, the lecturer hold an opposite viewpoints and refuted each of them. In the lecture, the speaker claimed that these could be solved by putting up a balloon-like station on the planet.
First of all, the lecturer argued that since the station could flow around the planet, the problem of pressure could be solved. Although Venus has the atmosphere pressure much greater than the one at Earth, by putting up the station around 50 kilometers high, it would lower the pressure to an earth-like one.
Secondly, in the reading passage, the author claimed that the need to reserve water on the planet would at the end defeating the hope to establish the station. On the contrary, the lecturer refuted this by pointing out that water can be made out of carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide, which are attainable on Venus. Thus, there should be no worries about transporting water and reserve them.
Last but not the least, the author indicated very little sunlight due to the think cloud block on the planet would lead to no electricity to power their machine. However, the lecturer refused this by saying that there would also be reflective light available above the thick cloud. As a result, they can gain electricity through solar system.
