A lot less than at present . But its nearer to the sun so it wont be
as pleasant as on Earth.

The way i see it , Mars has been almost proven to be impotent . So yes
we should turn our attention towards Venus . She's hot , steamy and
sexy.

But before this probably a moon base will be built first because thats
far easier to do . Actually Earth has more than enough living space
for us . What we should be interested about in Space is the
potentially unlimited source of Raw materials. Even if we dont end up
with a breathable atmosphere , colonizing moon and Venus to harness
thier almost limitless supply of raw materials is something worthwhile
doing . Yes we can get material from the asteroids , but mining on
Venus and moon will probably be far more efficient than carting
asteroids around ..
