A Thousand People on Venus by 2050

 OceanGate made headlines recently when their Titan submersible disappeared near the Titanic wreckage. Later, authorities confirmed that the Titan had imploded, resulting in the tragic loss of five passengers, including co-founder Stockton Rush. Although Söhnlein had parted ways with OceanGate in 2013, he still held a minority stake in the company.

Now, Söhnlein has shifted his focus away from ocean ventures and is aiming for a remarkable endeavor among the stars. He envisions establishing a floating human colony amidst the skies of Venus by the mid-century.

While Venus might not be the primary candidate for human exploration and colonization, Söhnlein remains undeterred by its challenging conditions. Despite its size and mass resembling Earth's, Venus possesses a starkly different environment. With an atmosphere laden with greenhouse gases, it retains intense heat from solar radiation, resulting in scorching year-round temperatures of 475 Celsius (900 Fahrenheit).

Nevertheless, Söhnlein believes there's a potential sweet spot in the upper atmosphere where conditions could be more hospitable. This is the location he has in mind for his Humans2Venus colony—a floating city positioned 30 miles above Venus' surface. His commitment to this ambitious idea remains unshaken, even in light of the tragic failure experienced by OceanGate.

In an interview with Business Insider, he expressed his perspective: "Disregard OceanGate, the Titan, and Stockton. Humanity might be standing at the brink of a significant breakthrough, and we must not squander this opportunity due to the risk of setbacks. As a species, we could face stagnation and regression if we don't seize the chance to move forward."

Venus is much too dry for life

 Venus may have been named for the Greco-Roman goddess of affection and ripeness, however the actual planet is everything except—burning, harmful and presumably absolutely infertile. 

Would we discover Cthluhu on Venus? Presumably not. Something to that effect would have a superior shot at getting by in the watery profundities of Enceladus, Europa, or Titan. While researchers who suspected there could be organisms coasting around in the harmful skies of Venus, particularly since the disclosure of phosphine in the environment nearly broke the web last year, new exploration has discovered that life blossoming with Venus (basically life as far as we might be concerned) is frightfully far-fetched. It is excessively dry for even the hardest extremophile to endure.

"The new idea of phosphine in Venus' climate has recovered interest in the possibility of life in mists," the researchers said in an examination as of late distributed in Nature Astronomy. "In any case, such examinations normally disregard the job of water movement, which is a proportion of the general accessibility of water, in livability." 

There isn't sufficient water in the sulfuric corrosive billows of the Venusian environment for anything to make it, including the growth Aspergillus penicilloides, a xerophile which can go parched longer than some other creature on Earth. The dampness content of those mists says how much water is in them. Their water action alludes to the amount of that water is accessible for theoretical life to utilize. Since water movement decides if cells can work, it can likewise tell onlookers whether a planet is conceivably livable, basically by Earth principles, or not. Potential for life implies there must be essentially some stickiness. 

Damp climate might be the most despicable aspect of your reality in the late spring, contingent upon where you live, yet no mugginess at all would mean a dead planet. Creatures here can't work under a specific stickiness level. Air water action is exactly the same thing as relative mugginess, however estimated on a size of zero to one all things being equal. A. penicilloides can't work under a water action level of 0.585. The billows of Venus are a bad situation for what is viewed as outrageous on Earth, in light of the fact that with a water movement level around 0.004, the organism wouldn't have an opportunity, and that abandons saying for whatever else.
