What If We Live in Venus

We live in Earth (absolutely, except you work in ISS) and earth is perfect place. Not too cold or to hot. We have water in 3 form, liquid, solid, and gasses. Because that we have ocean, sea, river, bacteria, storm, plants, animal, and human. So how if we live in Venus?

Mariner 1 launch. It crash 4 minutes after it's launched

1. Before We Live There, Our Spaceship Are Destroyed
This because very high atmospheric pressure. So your spacecraft are has been destroyed because very high atmospheric pressure. Two spacecraft that tried to enter the Venus atmosphere are destroyed. Soviet owned Venera 3 are crash landing at Venus and unable to call to earth. The Mariner 1 spacecraft, are failed when launched to space because software error (okay, the Venus is not reason why this spacecraft exploded. Just FYI). You need very strong spacecraft to enter the Venus.

Venus and earth size compared

2. We Will Melting
After you land, you will encounter the first problem. Earth and Venus are have similar size, but they have very different conditions. As I told, earth temperature was OK. Venus, instead have very high temperature, the highest in the solar system. It temperature was 462℃, 4 times than boiling water temperature. It even higher than Mercury, that closer to the sun then Venus. It's because Venus have many CO2, 300 times than earth CO2. So, the Venus are like greenhouse, because it CO2, the heat from sun are only able to getting in to it, but they can't go outside. Yeah, if you barbecued a tenderloin at Venus, it will instantly melting with your body (I never try this, but I recommend you to never do this, for obvious reason)

Venus atmosphere pressure. Great picture ;)

3. Our Body Will Be Crushed
Okay, now you has evolved and you can resist heat until 600℃. But, one problem solved, other problems coming. If your skin just resist to heat, other elements of Venus will crush you (Really). Even if it's size are similar to earth, so it gravitational forces are same as the Earth, but it's air pressure are 92 times than the earth. This is the reason why there's no crater on Venus, the small asteroid are CRUSHED by air pressure of Venus. This also reason why the human cant look what is inside the Venus. So imagine if you hold 1 large dictionary book. You are absolutely can do it. But how if I added 92 more dictionary book? Your hands will not being a hand again (I know that hurts)

Venus composition. That's lots of CO2!

4. We Can't Breathe.
Now you have diamond skin, so you can resist the air pressure on Venus. But this is the problem: You can't breathe at Venus because, again it have 300 times of CO2 than the earth CO2. And, it also have very low O2 for you to breathe. The Apollo A7L only have oxygen for 7 hours. But maybe this will be your solution. For the mission to Mars, scientists are developed a carbon dioxide to O2 transformer to installed at Mars Rover. Maybe this is the solution for Venus.

Did you think there's any animal here? FYI, that's wasn't H2O rain. Instead it's Sulphuric Acid rain.

5. We Don't Have Water and Food
After you have as-hard-as-diamond skin and CO2 breathing system, you still have problems. How did you eat or drink? Animal and plant are died due the hot temperature. Water evaporates. Your ransom for 45 years at Venus are melting and you can't eat it again. Maybe they evolved to have a diamond skin like you, but how did you cut/kill/eat them? Did you want to eat diamond? Yeah, you don't want to do that, right? So this is the trickiest part. You want melt steak or diamond steak?

What If The Nuclear War Start Now

The nearest time in human history to a nuclear war is Cuba Missile Crisis at 1962. Fortunately, the nuclear war are never broke between US and USSR. Now, after Cold War ended there's little chance that nuclear war will begun. But how if US or Russia are launching their Minuteman or SS-18 Satan (yeah, I know the name was horrified you, it explosive are also like it name) and the nuclear war are started?

Destruction of London if the Tsar Bomba exploded over her skies. Horrifying?

1. Many Cities in the World Will be Destroyed

Okay, put Washington, New York, Moscow, London, St Petersburg, Beijing, Pyongyang, Paris, New Delhi, and Islamabad in this list. They are few from many cities that will destroyed because they are major cities in each of nuclear weapon owned countries. One of Minuteman III that exploded in Center Moscow can killed 618,110 people ( I using the NUKEMAP by Alex Wellerstein, here the website) that just one of this missile, US have 450 Minuteman III. Imagine how if they all explode in city around the world.

People watching the destroyed building in Hiroshima

2. Many People Will Died Because Nuclear Explosion (radiation fallout and nuclear winter not counted)

The Hiroshima "Little Boy" bomb are killed 90.000-166.000 people, and by nuclear weapons standards now, that was small nuclear weapon. The Minuteman have 300-500 kt of TNT or 20 to 30 times from Hiroshima bomb, TN 80/81, the largest French nuclear arsenal have 300 kt of TNT or 20 times from Hiroshima bomb, the Dong-Feng 5, largest China nuclear weapons have 5 mt of TNT, or 333,333333 times from Hiroshima. Kt means kiloton or thousands of ton, Mt means megaton or million of ton. How much people will killed because the explosion? I don't know.

Nuclear fallout shelter building sign in New York. Did you want to go inside?

3. Many People Will Died Because Radiation Fallout
The radiation fallout are can killed many people, but usually it was long-term effects, 1.900 Hiroshima and Nagasaki people are have cancer 5 or 15 or 30 years after the explosion ad die because cancer .If you are a survivor from explosion in ground zero (this is very unlikely, the nearest survives victims in Hiroshima are 170 m from ground zero, his name is Eizo Nomura) you will have high chance having a cancer many years later. It because the radiation can cause cell mutation so the cell aren't digesting it self after the cell are finish his job like normal cell.

You don't want this happens, right?

4. Nuclear Winter
Nuclear winter is occurred because after nuclear explosion, the firestorm will have enough power for lifting up (many, many) smoke into the upper troposphere and make counter-greenhouse effect (it may sound good, but in reality it was VERY bad) and block sunlight. So you will not see the sun for few year. Maybe for you it was not bad because you are spend many hour and day without sunlight and you will not died, but for plant, this are their nightmare. Back to 4-th grade, plants need sunlight for their photosynthesis. Without sunlight almost all plant will died. That was also have bad news for animal and us because it will destroyed the food chain so we can't get food except you have 10 year food storage. This will kill most of us and the animal.

Did you want to live like them?

5. We Will Back to Stone Age
Einstein are saying this: " I don't know what weapons in the Third World War that will be used, but I sure that Fourth World War will using stone and axe". This mean after 3rd World War our civilization will be destroyed and many of the survivors of this world war live will become like their ancestors thousands years ago. They will have story of our great civilization from mouth to mouth and their hope that once in future our civilization will repeated. So we are becoming hunters-gathers once again.
