However, a strange thing happens just thirty miles above the surface of
Venus. The atmosphere is much more forgiving and, as a matter of fact, the
conditions about 30 miles above the surface of Venus are damn near exactly
the same as those of Earthperhaps more exact than any other place in the
entire galaxy (that we know of right now).

The gravity at that altitude above Venus is just a little lower than the
gravity on Earth. But more importantly, the atmospheric pressure is about
the same and there is much more protection from solar radiation.

And so, NASA has developed HAVOC: the High Altitude Venus Operational
Concept. This would basically be a series of blimp-esque vehicles that
could carry technology and provide a somewhat habitable environment for a
few astronauts to explore Venus more closely for upwards of 30 days.

The agency is now working on early versions, prototypes, for this project
to see if and how it could be done.

Still the problem remains, from where do you get Hydrogen for water. Life
of the type we have on Earth cannot manage without water. In this respect
Mars would be superior to Venus.

The big question remains is there water on the Moon? How much? Could there
be water under the ground on the Moon.
