| Oct 30, 2019 at 12:42 | comment | added | Cornelis | @OscarLanzi Because it 's not a greenhouse gas, it would lower the temperature on Venus. | |
| Oct 30, 2019 at 11:52 | comment | added | Oscar Lanzi | Making oxygen? Isn't that actually a poison? We've adapted to it, but that's just Earth organisms. | |

| Jun 22, 2019 at 22:25 | comment | added | Anthony X | It's entirely possible that life has already been brought to Venus, just not intentionally. More than one probe has entered the atmosphere of Venus; even if carefully sterilized during assembly/launch preparation, there is still the possibility that some terrestrial organisms could have hitched a ride, just unlikely to have survived. | |

| Oct 16, 2018 at 21:49 | comment | added | Ingolifs | In regards to the close votes, I think that while 'technical proposal' type questions can be hard to answer and be prone to opinion-based answers, this question is fine. The main thrust of the question is a feasibility one, even though it isn't explicitly stated. It has received a solid answer. It would be of interest to people searching for atmospheric venus colonisation. | |
| Oct 16, 2018 at 21:03 | comment | added | SF. | I really, really wouldn't want to meet pathogens that developed to thrive in Venus conditions. | |

| Oct 10, 2018 at 14:36 | comment | added | Magic Octopus Urn | Personally, I think we should just get handfuls of water-bears and a mini rail-gun. Then we should aim the bio-rail-gun at random planets during fly-by's and shoot the water-bears at the planets. | |

| May 22, 2018 at 0:25 | comment | added | Cort Ammon | I have to admit, my first thought when reading this is in the form of Ian Malcom: "Yeah, yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should." | |
| May 21, 2018 at 21:37 | comment | added | Cornelis | @AnthonyX Good links. Two reasons i think, one the lack of hydrogen. So i proposed hydroxides, indeed a lot of them will be needed but water could be recycled, The other reason. Sagan supposed the organic molecules would form CO2 again. But before that, concentrated H2SO4 could turn those molecules into carbon and water! | |
| May 21, 2018 at 18:56 | comment | added | Anthony X | There is a Wikipedia article on this topic, which gives an overview of both possible approaches and problems. In particular, it notes a very similar idea suggested in 1961 by Carl Sagan and the reasons why his idea could not work. | |
| May 21, 2018 at 10:27 | comment | added | Cornelis | @OrganicMarble Thanks to your comments i've changed the question somewhat. | |

| May 20, 2018 at 15:15 | comment | added | Organic Marble | Why should any government pay billions of dollars to achieve that? | |
| May 20, 2018 at 15:05 | comment | added | Cornelis | @OrganicMarble Aren't the last two sentences of my story clear enough to state that turning CO2 into O2 is the goal ? And wouldn't thriving cyanobacteria in the atmosphere of Venus not be a milestone for life ? | |
| May 20, 2018 at 14:07 | comment | added | Organic Marble | "Why not?" is not a mission rationale. To get the government to spend billions of dollars on a project, you must supply the reason "why". | |

| May 18, 2018 at 3:39 | comment | added | Erin Anne | "Why is this a bad idea" seems to be opinion-based. I'm not sure if, in general, Stack Exchange is a good place to do even shallow technical reviews of proposals. That generally requires a kind of discussion that the question/answer format isn't good at. | |

| May 16, 2018 at 22:23 | comment | added | Cornelis | @notstoreboughtdirt Yes, it's far from ideal but one has to start somewhere. If you have ideas about this, please tell ! | |
| May 16, 2018 at 22:13 | comment | added | Cornelis | @Uwe Probably a lot of fertilizer could be spoiled by the strong winds so a location near the poles would be preferable, | |
| May 16, 2018 at 22:07 | comment | added | Cornelis | @zeta-band Wouldn't it be great if this bacteria could survive? And maybe it could adapt more and more by mutation. | |
| May 16, 2018 at 21:57 | comment | added | Cornelis | @Uwe I don't know. First it could be examined if this type of bacteria can survive at all and after that a lot of experimentation would be needed to expand | |

| May 16, 2018 at 18:55 | comment | added | called2voyage♦ | @notstoreboughtdirt No, it would be producing oxygen which would be useful to later life. | |
| May 16, 2018 at 18:54 | comment | added | user17699 | @called2voyage More like a proof of proof of concept than a start if it needs to live on inflated supports and imported fertilizer. | |
| May 16, 2018 at 18:42 | comment | added | called2voyage♦ | @zeta-band Jump start to terraforming | |
| May 16, 2018 at 18:25 | comment | added | Uwe | How much fertilizer will be necessary to get an effective concentration over a region large enough to be observable from an orbiter? | |
| May 16, 2018 at 17:32 | comment | added | zeta-band | What's the upside to doing this? | |
