Even so, a Venus colony is still probably going to need imported resources for some time, but then again so is a Mars colony. What makes a venus colony compelling is that the majority of the resources we need to stay alive and grow food are available by gas phase and liquid phase processing. Dealing with liquids and gases

is a heck of a lot easier than dealing with solids. On Mars one needs to dig for resources/drive over rocks and sand, on Venus one just filters and condenses stuff out. Well that's the argument the Venus people make at least, we need to understand venus better before we can attempt such things.
