Oh, did I mention there's also the idea of making floating cities that orbit Venus? At first glance, Mars is similar, and I don't blame you for that; it has polar ice caps, large valleys, and liquid water under the surface. However, Mars is also a cold, radioactive place, where the ground is poisonous, and breathing is impossible. Mars is AWFUL, but we don't care! We're stubborn lil' beings and we're gonna do it! However, we still need to colonize the Moon first; it's the perfect sandbox for our space programs!

Also, floating cities on Venus? That's new to me. I invite you to do some research on the topic. Since the surface of Venus is way too hot and has many toxic gases, the idea is to create floating cities around Venus. Think of it as building artificial moons for Venus and then inhabiting them. The advantages to this is that, if we have enough funds for it, we could design them to simulate Earth's conditions a bit better, and also the fact that Venus is closer to Earth than Mars. The main issue here, as always, is funds.
