>>10930160>>10930181>we use the clouds to extract water, I know they are acidic but we can still use them.Alright...sulphuric acid is created from water vapour.
Sunlight splits carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide and oxygen, am I right?.
The oxygen, sulphur dioxide and water vapour then react to produce sulphuric acid.
So human colonists would be much better off just extracting the water vapour from the atmosphere directly.
Water vapour only makes up about 20 parts per million in Venus’ atmosphere, but it is a very thick atmosphere.
The mass of the atmosphere is about 4.8*10^20 kg.
That works out to about 10^16 kg of water vapour.
That's about 1% the amount of water on Earth.
More than enough to support a colony.
Not bad at all, specially if we can recycle the water.
in fact, venus colonist would be cleaner because they only need to throw the shit to the surface and watch the trash get scorched.
