I would choose Mars, mostly because of all the plans that we have for it. Imagine having people actually living there, it sounds insane!

    Apart from Earth, Venus. Recently starting watching loads of content about Venus, and I just find it so fascinating how despite having 90% the gravity and 95% the radius it is so different to Earth. It makes me really wonder about habitability, and how lucky it is how things are. I almost feel sad that Venus is the way that it is, and that’s why it’s so interesting.

    I’m hoping we find out a lot more about Venus in our lifetimes.

      Agreed. We know so little about Venus compared to Mars despite it being slightly closer to us. That whole drama with the phosphene gas a few years back really revealed how much there is to learn there.

      I also love that one of the serious ways scientists have proposed for colonizing Venus is to build cities that float in its clouds at the altitude where the atmospheric pressure / temperature are roughly the same as Earth’s. It’s simultaneously batshit insane and hoplessly romantic.
