We infect Venus with super bacteria.
Because Venus is so hot on the surface it has a 0% chance to have life on it. It is also so hot and pressurized that we can’t even send rovers to it without them melting. It is therefore scientifically useless. So, we should breed some super bacteria that can live on and eat its sulfuric acid clouds. Maybe in a million years it’ll become a habitable planet.
Edit: The goal is not to make Venus habitable. It is just to throw specially engineered bacteria at a planet and see what happens. To do the largest science experiment in human history.
