venus

The composition of Earth's atmosphere was pretty similar to Venus and Mars, before photosynthesis changed it to the current composition.

Like the 90 year old engineer guy behind the Venus project says in his interviews.

For reference, here are the ESIs of some planets in our solar system: Mercury (0.596), Venus (0.444), Mars (0.697).

Pretty sure these all apply for Mars and Venus and they're dead planets.

I always thought venus was technically in the habitable zone but just has issues with runaway greenhouse.

Maybe life on mars or venus died out a billion years ago.

Mars and Venus are more similar to Earth than this.

Yeah, I observe in telescope Venus + Jupiter dance for a 3 weeks already.

Before this week, I thought that it was pretty much just starlight on Pluto with the sun looking more like Venus at night.

The Venus Paradox seems more like something a freshman says, who heard about Boolean algebra for the first time and now applies it human language all the time.

Think Venus (highly active surface) vs the Moon.

> During the 1998 Australian Open, sisters Serena and Venus Williams boasted that they could beat any man ranked outside the world's top 200.

It certainly seems strange that Venus is scores lower than Mars, too -- by any reasonable definition it's the more "Earth-like" of the two -- it has an atmosphere, it's closer in size and mass and so on.

Most traditional paradoxes have straightforward resolutions (frequently involving inserting a knowing subject into them, like the person who observes Venus) but none of them will ever be "solved" because of this purely psychological resistance to the possibility of their solution on the part of a very vocal sub-population.

For the definitions being used in most of these sensationalized stories we've already got 2 more we know about, Venus and Mars, and I'm pretty sure if Mercury was picked up in another solar system we'd hear it described as "Earth-like" too, given some of the stuff that has been described that way.

"The Evening Star is Venus seen in the evening sky." "The Morning Star is Venus seen in the morning sky." "Transitivity implies therefore that the Evening Star is the Morning Star, since Venus seen in the evening sky is Venus seen in the morning sky." This is obviously stupid: no one would make this claim.

Venus is too hot, Mars is too airless, and everything else is worse.

If you wanted to get really fancy, advance a DoY-hand for Venus, Mars, Jupiter, as well as the Earth's.

We want to make inexpensive LED plant growing so we can travel to Mars or Venus.
