A viral map highlights how terraforming Venus could result in an impressively Earth-like planet.
The map was shared in a Reddit post by a user called "Dragonite-2" on the "MapPorn" subreddit on August 21. It visualizes one of the BOLDEST PROPOSALS FOR TERRAFORMING THE SOLAR SYSTEM.
The map bears similarities to Aaditya Raj Bhattarai's water-filled map of Mars, which was shared on Reddit earlier this month. Proposals for terraforming elsewhere in the Solar System tend to focus on the Red Planet. One of the most popular is Elon Musk's idea for colonizing Mars. Musk plans to build a city on Mars, and then somehow release the planet's carbon dioxide stores, creating an atmosphere that humans could move around in with just a breathing apparatus.
