What do you want from `My Mars’? (1)`Do you want to mine it’? or (2)`Do you want to live in it’?
(1) If you’re a gold digger remember Mars is half the size of Earth but only 1/3 of the mass. That’s why it’s 142 mile from the Sun; It’s consists of less heavy metals like gold in the magma. It probably froze solid because there were not enough heavy radioactive metals in the core to produce nuclear smouldering heat. If you want to be a gold digger then you’ll probably have more fun using `Your Venus’.
(2) If you want to live in it then remember your going to be living in a space suit outdoors.
Terra forming the planet would cost: (x)Trillions. The best possible prospectable `climate conditions possible on Mars’ would be: An `equatorial region around the planet’ with `climatic conditions resembling’ the `Twin Bering Heads’ of `(Alaska) and (Bering Siberia & Kamchatka peninsula’s)’ on Earth
So if you want to have fun then put on a `Space Suit’ and head North to Alaska with a metal detector.
Mars is as dry as the Sahara and as cold as Siberia.
If you flood the planet with Asteroid water then My Robotic Miners will get water in their Wellies when they try to prospect and their nuts could rust!
Underwater mining is an expensive exercise especially if the most likely minerals around would be cheap thing’s like Aluminium, Calcium and Magnesium.
NASA should practice landing in the African Sahara and drilling for oil, they have as much chance of finding oil on Mars!
Yes, `My Mars is well lubed with oil like the Sahaha, You didn’t know about it because there has been a cover up `Under them there Sands’ But if you `Grease my palm’ I’ll show it to you.

Yes Mars is 50 million miles farther from the Sun. Meaning it is `composed of chiefly of lighter elements' than the Earth and `much lighter elements than Venus'.
Venus would be a goldmine for `heavy precious metals' but it would cost `billions to extract a ton' of minerals.
Hard to imagine but perhaps a `nuclear powered spacecraft with Space Shuttle tiles' could fly around in the Venus atmosphere.
Then again the atmosphere is sulphuric acid with sulphur trioxide `meaning an oxygen balloon would be like a hydrogen balloon' if it didn’t melt taking picture indefinately of the surface without propulsion.
Mars has plenty of `cheep light metals like Aluminium, calcium, potassium, sodium, magnesium,' But I want the planets Beryllium/Titanium/Lithium from the surface geology.
Then I want to go down to the core! Umm `Planetary Cores' are cores, (it could be as dense as Mercury?). Just like the `Solar System the near to the centre has heavier elements so too the cores have precious metals. Venus has heavier metals and gases than Earth, thats why it's closer to the Sun (Venus has Sulphur trioxide because the gas is much heavier than Earth's Oxygen Nitrogen mix)
The Martian core could have plenty of Iron, copper, Manganese, Nickel, Titanium, simply from the centrifugal forces creating the solar system billions of years ago from a nebula shock-waved by a Super-Nova explosion into congealing into glowing chemically reactive proto planets.
Mars is frozen solid, there are no tectonic plates, no magma, we can use a worm drill such as used to build train tunnels and tunnel and mine the metal rich core with robots. We can build tunnels through the planet in 13 degree angles to come out on the other side of the planet utilising the Martian gravity like an underground swing travelling at the speed of Mars gravity (38% of Earth)

This has given me an idea:
Would a `hollow hot air Titanium Balloon’ shaped like a UFO fly? More interestingly would it fly indefinitely in the Venusian Atmosphere
The melting point of titanium is 1675 Celsius! But this would be an 95% hollow UFO shaped craft filled with very hot gasses like oxygen, helium would do, simply `as a metal ballon to mount television cameras on' to `float around in the atmosphere to take pictures’. It would never cool down because it’s 900 degrees something on Venus.

A coffee can is made of steal. How big would a `helium filled coffee can' have to be(scaled up) have to be so as it would become buoyant and float around in the atmosphere taking pictures indefinitely? The thermal heat on Venus is irrelevant to the titanium gas UFO; because the surrounding atmosphere is hotter.
All your going to have from `playing around with your Venus' is `pretty pictures' from your `project for your projector'. Is there any `money from pretty pictures' ha? ha? See my point! The gravity is too much.
Think about something much hotter and lighter! Mercury is probably a radioactive core of an ancient planet. It's probably full of Mine-able Uranium. A nuclear refinery could mine Uranium and heavy metals from mercury then blast them into orbit with nuclear powered spacecraft using Uranium mined from Mercury.
Lift of for a robotic nuclear craft withing Mercury's gravity would be much easier than the formidable Venusian gravity with `boiling hot high pressure acid atmosphere'.
I'm not clowning around! Perhaps some day you might be able to do something with `Your Venus' but there ain't much you could do with Uranus! The gravity is `eleven times greater than Earths'! If you lived there you wouldn't have the strength to get out of bed!
Think about the planet masses! Don't clown around with money!

Venus is pumped up very high with pressure! Because it’s bursting with water.
It probably has just as much water as Earth!
However the water doesn’t exist as liquid water!
The Venusian oceans are the atmosphere as humidity mixed with gasses. If you can imagine all the `Earths Oceans' boiled up into `transparent water vapour humidity' it would `make the atmosphere very dense', `very much heavier' than a mostly hollow spacecraft pumped up with helium. The craft would be as bouyant as a submarine in very thick heavy vaporous gases.
Furthermore I think I could build a ramjet engine utilising the lightweight abundant metals from Mars as fuel. Potassium, Calcium, Magnesium, Aluminium, would be the propellants of choice because they have low melting points and would produce tremendous amounts of Thrust in either Water or Sulphuric acid vapour without much need for Oxygen in the ramjet. Mars is red from IronOxide. Mix IronOxide with reductive Aluminium and you have part of a very powerfull propellant which can be utilised within the ramjet.
The spacecraft could have plane wings like a fighter jet and they would generate much more lift because the oceans are the gaseous air equivalent they would be flying in, but much heavier than our air. So the Plane like spacecraft could fly to much higher altitudes than on Earth.

It’id be going to `Extremes’, A big round trip; visiting the `Red Planet’ just to get some fuel. We have plenty of Magnesium on Earth which we could use for an `Experimental Venusian Ramjet Engine'. The `Martian Termite would be good', but we have even more `Iron Ore and Aluminium on Earth as-well'.
Venus has a `Molten Core with a Magnetosphere’ whipped with Solar Winds, pictures of the aurora’s would prove very interesting.
The biggest problems to overcome would be friction and lubrication in such blaring heat.

If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. Do those Planets have anythig the average man in the street would be buying? Venus is to hot, Mars is to cold. Mars is a light weight planet. As if your going to find something of value there like Emeralds, Rubies, or Saphires!

Venus has a solid volcanically resurfaced crust. It has active volcano’s but no electromagnetic field.
Venus doesn’t have a Magnetosphere because of the very slow rotation of the planet.
One day on Venus would take 2/3 of an Earth year. Venus has water but most of it has been striped away by the solar winds.
The atmosphere is mostly CO2 with dense clouds of Sulphuric Acid 13 miles thick 30 miles above the surface of the planet.
The pressure on Venus is 90 Atmospheres with a surface temperature of 900 Degree’s Fahrenheit, whilst 30 miles up in the clouds the temperature is only about 175 Degrees Fahrenheit; A very comfortable temperature for a mostly hollow Titanium UFO shaped Hot Helium Balloon, floating around indefinitely taking infrared high resolution video of the planet.
