In the future, Venus is terraformed to have an atmosphere similar to earth, plentiful water and nutrient dense soil.

What plants and animals would you choose, from a genetic library, to place on this new world?

How long ago was Venus an ocean world? Was it back when Pangaea existed on Earth?

Easy solution: just blast it with the Sun's corona and/or a fuckload of nukes.
How could we fix its spin though?

Late but felt the need to reply anyways.
On the timescales something like that would happen over we'd be able to prepare to live on a sunless Earth a hundred times over.
When counting from when we'd first see it coming then speculation is somewhat pointless because we'd much more likely destroy ourselves long before then. 40,000 years by itself in the modern age is enough time to make any and all predictions worthless, but added on that it's basically that nuclear scare in Hawaii but on a global scale makes everything far too chaotically unpredictable. Aside from that, even if our rate of advancement crawled to a fraction of what it is now we'd still have far more than enough time to colonize every body in the solar system, have massive ships going out to all of the closest stars to colonize them, and still have enough resources to make Earth ready to become a rogue planet, even making supermassive artificial biospheres in a sort of stationary Noah's Ark fashion.
For anything close to what happened in the video to come to be would basically require a black hole or some other significant gravitational body to pop in and out of existence and disrupt Earth's orbit like a stellar ninja. Even then we could pull through quicker than that barring us destroying ourselves before then.

How do people this stupid still exist? Semi-serious question.

This but completely unironically.

This is what Venus would actually look like after terraforming.
The Greeks and Japs would have a fucking field day with it.

Couldn't we easily terraform world that have too much gas if we just built a coronal focusing laser to blast away their atmospheres to acceptable levels?
Doesn't Neptune have an absolutely fucked rotation though?

How about we put it at L4/L5 instead?
Then we don't have to worry about it affecting Earth and we can get loads of cool new space pictures.

It seems pretty obvious that the laws of the universe work differently at different scales.

Very big sun shades in orbit is probably the biggest one. Unless it turns out that the thing that caused Venus to become the way it is currently was some super massive asteroid or giga-solar flare or something else that would be too explosive in nature to reasonably prepare for with technology and infrastructure available within the next hundred years then we'd be able to keep it as a nice, comparatively Earth-like planet.

Why do these agencies insist on hemorrhaging all their operating capital on trips to Mars when all Venus needs is an array of micron solar shades parked on L1
