Venus actually offers some O2, lots more available at 150 km and, it
even has loads (as in mega tonnes) of warm H2O that's relatively stuck
in those thick acidic clouds (do the math), though much cooler and
even somewhat transparent at lower elevations during their extended
season of nighttime.

There's more thermal energy leaving Venus than is incoming via solar
flux, so go figure out how much cooler the extended nighttime must
offer, especially of those elevated sites.

Great pressure makes the need for O2 rather minimal, I'd believe that
would have to apply for H2O, though storage of H2O in the formula of
H2O2 makes a whole lot more sense.

I certainly hope these anti-Venus fools aren't suggesting upon any
human habitat on Venus, as that's a pathetic joke (we're not even
smart enough to hardly exist here on Earth), or are so many folks
actually that stupid?

BTW; I've added another page specifically on the topic of the lunar
tether GPa, where I'm seriously wondering if any LSE tether even needs
3 GPa. As I learn more specifics from others (hopefully smarter than
myself), I'll make those corrections and share the outcome.
