That's right. Mercury and Venus are going to waste.

Adding Mercury to Mars would be helpful. Cooling Venus could be started now, but would take thousands of years (at least).

Someone once suggested on a space blog that we move Venus to the opposite side of Earth's orbit so that it is exactly Earth's distance, but opposite the sun, then make Mars a moon of Venus, and terraform both.

Wild idea, but would make for a cool sci-fi movie.
