Artist's impression of the Lunar base but similar would work in mountains of planet Venus (Picture 1) |

Sometimes I think that maybe in the future we will make the base to the Venus. The ideal place for that hypothetical base would be Maxwell Mountains. Today I watched some videos, what are made by Lockheed Martin, and some of those videos were stunning stuff, like Mars-bases and the space exploration. So in here, I must ask one question, how much that corporation will cover when it makes it productions?
When we are talking about developing the productions, the private companies are the better environment for that purposes, because they have not so great bureaucracy, and in those companies, we might let our imagination fly like the Pegasus. In some thought, I have seen visions about the secret space bases, what are built in the Venus and Mars.
In the Venus, the only thing what is needed is to build a house, there is enough isolation for the high temperature and sulfur acid, what will rain from that planet's clouds. The house must also be equipped with active carbon filters and the thermos bottle style structure, what keeps the 600-degree Celsius heat out of the inside of that base.
And the active carbon filters remove the carbon from the carbon monoxide. The planet Venus could be easier place than the moon to build some bases by 3D Printing because there could be used the normal X-helicopters to produce that base with 3D-printing technology. There would be plans that there would be the bases on the moon, (Picture 1) what would be made with 3D-printing technology. But because there is the atmosphere in the Venus, the base would be accomplished with the X-helicopters, what is used as the 3D-printers.
The windows of that fictional "house on the planet Venus" could be the glass what stands the high temperature, like lead glass, what is used with the nuclear reactors. That hypothetical Venus base might also have the rockets, what can be used by transportation between the Earth and the Venus. Those astronauts who would live there would use the same kind of gears, what is used in the steel factories.
And the very strong pressure in that planet atmosphere allows using the wind or capillary-generators to give the electricity to that base, and the breathing would happen thru the gas masks. We might not build the base in the bottom of the planet Venus atmosphere, but the mountains of that planet would give change to live in the similar pressure than on the Earth, and the promising place for that base would be Maxwell mountains of that planet.
