Scientists have identified 37 volcanic structures on Venus that appear to have been recently active - and probably still are today - painting the picture of a geologically dynamic planet and not a dormant world as long thought.

Just add water and some lightning, and VOILA! instant life forms, which by now have evolved into human-like life-forms. They're out there!

Mining water in the outer solar system and delivering it to Venus' gravity well until, in a liquid state, it would cover the surface with an average depth of 10 or 20 miles would help cool it down over the next centuries or couple millennia. The larger problem would be to get it rotating prograde at some reasonable pace. Pursuant to this idea, it would be a good idea to build a density map (Earth's is referred to as the Potsdam Gravity Potato) and slam Venus in just the right spot to push the heaviest part into the axial location. Then add the water.
