Terraforming - Can we turn Venus into a second Earth? l A Better Question Ep. 7

Why is Venus our best - maybe only - option for terraforming a new Earth? What makes it better than Mars? Isn't Venus basically hell?

Acid clouds, flying cities, bone-crushing air...In this episode we take a look at Earth's angry neighbor - Venus. We explore how people can live on Venus right now, even though the surface will melt lead And we discover how to change Venus into a new Earth - at a price.
