It's supposed to be the god of love and beauty, but truly nowhere near it. How will we terraform venus?

To be honest, I don't think we'll bother.

Perhaps not terraform it directly, just place a mining station on there (Automated, whatever) to select valuable gases and minerals for processing.

I doubt if we will, but there are several vacuum chamber suggestions for "floating" cities that will work for planets with such dense heavy atmospheres as Venus ... http://www.universetoday.com/2008/07/16/colonizing-venus-with-floating-cities/ .

Here's my idea For the slow rotation, to speed it up maybe it would be effective to move mercury in a correct distanced orbit to give it a 24 hour orbit around venus, also to induce tidal lock which in turn drags the surface of the planet speeding it up. As for the sulphuric acid clouds, that could be where all the ancient oceans disapeared to. I think by cracking the molecule in cooler conditions two sulphuric acid molecules can provide Oxygen and Water shown here: 2 H2SO4 -> 2 H2O + O2 + 2 SO2 sulphur dioxide being the waste product, then 2 SO2 -> 2 O2 + S2 i have no idea how that would work lol but it looks possible to me. Venus is also too close to the sun for water to not boil on its surface, as many people have said you could use solar shields to cool it down or even better and far harder you could use the method with an asteroid or another mass large enough and then hold it dead still infront of venus, pointing toward the sun then it will push the planet further away into the goldilock zone :)
