Big space stations have been proposed for these orbits. Why not Venus, assuming we had the means of moving it there?

        What if you seeded the atmosphere with Iridescent material that gives off light when heated? - Scott Evil - 3/22/2006 4:07:51 PM

        I was hoping that you would tell me that a buckyball heated above 150 Degrees F would begin to glow white hot light... - Scott Evil - 3/22/2006 5:41:04 PM

        What about "BuckeyBlasters"? (n/t) - Robert - 3/23/2006 9:33:54 PM
        
        Maybe we just came up with a way to deliver molecules (drugs) to a body using a buckeyball delivery means. - Scott Evil - 3/22/2006 8:46:31 PM
        
        I believe that this has been suggested before... - R.L. - 3/23/2006 10:19:01 AM
