You don't even have to be all that intelligent in order to survive on
the planet Venus, and you certainly wouldn't need the technology of
radio or space travel capability. It seems species/biodiversity
survival is simply far more important than what we call intelligence,
because it doesn't do any good being Einstein smart if your species is
dead.

However, if you have sufficient technology for accomplishing space
travel, Venus would certainly be an ideal planet to pillage, plunder
and rape for all she's worth.


The protective atmosphere of Venus is by itself worth billions per
year if planning on mining/extracting whatever, not to mention the
unlimited renewable energy that such an atmosphere along with the vast
geothermal energy resource at the surface represents a combined energy
cache that's worth trillions per year.


Sometimes your replies are hard to follow, so I thought I'd return the
favor.
