Floating Venus cities is such a cool idea. With modern technology it would inly take 3 months to get to Venus.

If you want to be realistic, how about cities floating upon evacuated glass spheres in the earth atmosphere. That's a much more practical idea.

It's a stupid idea for a possible colony. But as a research outpost for a small group of astronauts, it's an outstanding idea.

Yeah, like what's wrong with starting with the moon? Send drones or whatever to hollow out huge caves, or find existing ones, build airlocks. Establish a forward colony. 3d printing tech is solving a lot of issues.

Gravity would be an issue but I'm sure something could be figured out.
