Venus: Death of a Planet Objectives The mission’s major objective is the first global examination of the atmosphere of Venus. The very hot and dense atmosphere appears to be completely different from the one around Earth. Existing meteorological models fail to predict the behavior of Venus’ thicker blanket of gases. Venus Express’ objectives include the study of the huge greenhouse effect on Venus (the strongest found in the Solar System); the hurricane force winds that permanently encircle

Being that Mars is the most Earth-like planet‚ it is the best candidate for terraforming. At the rate that the human population is growing‚ it is already evident that we are overpopulating earth‚ and with no signs of the population increase slowing‚ it is obvious that we are going to need to find new living arrangements. Where are we to find more space? The
