Well, the primary ideas on this mailing list seem to be focused with the
notion that we will all be uploaded into super networks, or become Johnny
Robots and hence, indestructable. Therefore, no need to transform Venus. This
uploading capability, I suspect, will not be all that soon. So terra-forming
Venus to suit Earth Life might consist of both using programable nano, as
fell as gigantic fusion-powered atmospheric chemical converters. Parachute
bunches of them-all manufactured from Lunar soil (iron. aluminum. titanium.
lithium.boron etc.). When the corosive atmosphere disables one of these
automated atmo-converters--drop a few hundred more. Soon, our descendents
will be golfing on the Venusian midlands. Ha cha cha!
