- | After the success of the [[Mars|Martian]] terraforming project, the conglomerate responsible set their sights on [[Venus]]. With arable land at a premium and huge volumes of money and raw materials flooding the industrial markets thanks to the [[Kuiper belt|asteroid mining operations]] near [[Mercury]], it was feasible to begin work on the significantly more complex problem of reducing the Venusian surface temperature and making the atmosphere compatible with human life. Many are considering the ongoing project, which has been running for approaching six decades, a test run for using the currently experimental technologies to restore the devastated ecosphere of [[Earth]] to a better state. | + | After the success of the [[Mars|Martian]] terraforming project, the conglomerate responsible set their sights on [[Venus]].
