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

    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.
