An article a year old. But really blurs the lines between science fact and science fiction. I found it very interesting to read. Most people think of Mars when we think of sending humans to another planet. But what about Venus?

Up in its clouds, temperatures are more Earth-like, and due to its size—roughly the size of Earth—the planet boasts a gravitational pull that's only 90 percent of Earth’s, something which would be immensely energy-intensive and mechanically complex to simulate elsewhere. This is what earned Venus its other nickname: Earth's twin.
