      Whatever happened to that scam where they were going to send a bunch of people to live on Mars? Let’s revive that for them. But actually send them, say, to Venus.

      Edit: I have to laugh at the downvote. Were they mad because I said the Mars colony thing was a scam? Or were they mad at the thought of being deported? LOL

        Can even turn Venus into an easier direct sell. It’s a lot bigger than Mars (more land = more money), actually has an atmosphere, is named after a Roman sex goddess, and is 100% free of communism (the USSR’s probes were destroyed).

        Sure, the scientists warn that the greenhouse effect causes Venus’s temperature to exceed 400°C on the surface, but they already know those scientists are full of shit because the greenhouse effect is fake news.
