I thought a bit about the prospect of terraforming other worlds starting with the ones closest to us, Mars and Venus.
Personally even though I don't mind the hype over Mars, I prefer thinking of Venus as the main target for terraforming.
it's just a lot more tempting.
for example:
It's surface area is 0.902 of Earth's
unlike mars which has only 0.284 of Earth’s surface area,
It has an atmosphere
unlike mars which practically has none,
it's closer to the sun and has a lower divergence from a perfect circular path than earth
allowing solar energy to be used as a constant and viable source of energy
(overall it gets about 240 times more solar energy than mars!),
and most importantly it's average distance from the earth is 10 times lower than the average distance between the earth and mars making travel time and frequency between earth and Venus much better.

The main problem with Venus however is that it's atmosphere is extremely dense and filled with carbon dioxide, making the surface temperature of the planet reach temperatures hot enough to melt lead.

The main method proposed to deal with this problem is avoiding the surface altogether and live in the sky using the dense atmosphere to raise entire cities.
It appeared to me that the main method should be to change the atmosphere and not accept it, and when I researched it I found out that the most viable solution to do this was to import hydrogen from the rest of the solar system and transfer it to Venus, relaying on the Bosch reaction to get rid of the carbon dioxide and create water instead.
the problem with this solution is that it will take an herculean effort and a vast amount of time to accomplish.

How much research has been done with terraforming Venus using biological methods

>Be Space Agency
>Decides to terriform Venus
>Create space bacteria that separate CO2 and SO2 into Carbon and Oxygen and Sulfer
>Wait some time until semi-hospitable
>Just add water
>Send down trees to expedite the process
>Wait some more time
>Atmosphere is now 1 ATM and 20°C, with enough oxygen.

Is this better than current ways to terriform Mars?
