| | Rehabilitating Venus as a Human Destination |
 | | Venus was dry, self-cleaning-oven-hot, cursed with an unbreathable brimstone-dosed carbon dioxide atmosphere of crushing density. |
 | | Venus remained in the heavens, of course, as an astronomical object, as an environmental object lesson, as a deceptively beautiful siren beacon, and as a significant gravity well useful for redirecting and accelerating objects bound for the outer solar system (like the Galileo probe on its way to Jupiter). |
 | | Venus reappears, both on the screens of human expeditions and outposts, and on the screens of tourist destinations. |
