Move it into orbit around Earth
I'm assuming there is an orbital distance at which tidal effects wouldn't be any worse than those caused by the Moon. But I haven't actually picked up a calculator, so maybe not.

- I'm for moving the planet
- What if we move a small comet into orbit of Venus and then spin it...
- Maybe nano-tech will...
- Move it into orbit around Earth
- Or Asterform it.
- Almost like a proto-Earth - Thea collision.
- But how?

- re: Not that far out of the box
- far out of the box
- reread my above post...
- What if you seeded the atmosphere with Iridescent material that gives off light when heated?
- far out of the box
- engineering planetary systems.

- Smash the planet Mercury into Venus?

- Nope
- Hit it with a BIG icy comet
- It does not seem like a good idea.
- Oh crap...I did it again...
