While the atmospheric mass of Venus contains a significant volume of carbon dioxide, extracting hydrogen for water remains a formidable challenge. Various ideas have emerged regarding sourcing hydrogen from other planets, especially gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn or utilizing solar energy for extraction.
Moreover, the unusual rotation pattern of Venus—where a day lasts longer than a year—presents challenges for sustaining biological rhythms. Some proposals suggest utilizing mirrors in orbit around Venus to simulate a typical 24-hour day, while more ambitious plans conceive adjusting the planet’s rotational speed using incoming ice or hydrogen shipments.
