Indeed, it's something I'll look into later, I'll do my application for it, and let wasd know about it, then we'll see if we can reach a middle ground on it.
Anyway there is another thing that has been bothering me, it's that Venus is completely Terra formed, whereas Mars is not?
Now I am going to go very in depth into this event hoguh it may not be entierly necessary.

Our Solar system has only 3 planets that can be regarded as habitable, there is Earth, which is obviously habitable and then there is Mars and Venus.
No I'm not sure which one of these was under Terrformation first but I'll assume Mars was as it is the most logically viable candidate for successful Terraforming.
The reason for this is that, unlike Venus it has a polar ice cap, which means water, and in turn Oxygen and hydrogen, merely melting this with thermobarbaric missiles is enough to start a chain of events that would likely begin a natural terrforming process of Mars, with a bit of help from technology over the years, the northern basins of mars would fill with water, the atmosphere would begin repairing itself and thickening thanks to the natural gases released with the water from the ice caps and in turn the planet could probably be able to accommodate humans without the need for suits.

And then there is Venus... There is no ice cap on Venus and the average temperature is about 400 degrees centigrade this is due to the planets atmosphereic gasses comprising of about 96% carbon dioxide, making this world a 'pressure cooker' world. The atmosphere is incredibly dense and the pressure from it 9 times that of earth. this makes terraforming immensely complex and difficult.
The planets atmosphere also has barely any hydrogen or oxygen in it meaning that no water can naturally form.
The only way to start and making this planet habitable is by bombarding the planets surface with comets, or ice blocks salvaged from Saturn's rings and in the asteroid belt, this would start to release water vapor and hopefully Oxygen and hydrogen, in turn reducing atmospheric pressure and adding some form of water vapour into the atmosphere.
No the only way to effectively dispose of the immense amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is through terraforming engines or bio-domes, both replace C02 in favour of other gasses, like oxygen and nitrogen.
This in turn would also further reduce atmosphereic pressure and thickness, however it'd take hundreds of years and the cost of somehow getting these engines and biodomes built on this planet and keeping the workers alive and uncooked is incredibly difficult and costly.

I'm sorry but this had to be said, I understand this all purely hypothetical and far from reality but I had to broach this point.
