"I have been to Venus a couple of times and believe me, it is just a fly trap."

I've been working on the problem of finding good places to create livable habitats other than on Earth, but here in the Solar System.

Venus offers good possibilities, once one works out the rules for a somewhat different place; just as elevated equatorial locations, which are good places to grow coffee and cocoa beans, have quite comfortable environments for humans as well.

Among other things, the habitats of Venus will be like Dorothy's house on its way to Oz; the scenery might tend to change a bit around them.

Venus' only problem is that the solid ground is too far down from the comfortable temperature and pressure, so folks will have use the air of their greenhouses like the air of a hot-air balloon, and just stay up where it's comfortable.

But my point in bringing up the matter is to suggest that I am planning, as soon as it becomes feasible, to name a little rinky-dink airport in that vicinity "Fly Trap".

It would just be the right thing to do.

Is Venus or The flying Castle farther or closer than through night and day and in and out of weeks and almost over a year? Where is this flying Circus people talk about? The one with the big foot. You would think that two flying object with mass would eventually attract each other.
