Any elementary school student should be well aware that Venus is the second planet of the Solar System. Covered by thick clouds of sulfuric acid, an average surface temperature greater than planet Mercury, a surface pressure which more resembles those found at the bottom of the oceans of Earth, and a surface covered in volcanoes and lava fields; it's safe to say that Venus is a prime definition of Hell. Given all the exploration which has taken place over the past 50 years, it might be hard to believe that at one point many artists and writers had a very different view of the planet. A living planet covered in oceans, jungles, and exotic creatures. In short, they saw a planet that lived up to Venus' namesake: the goddess of beauty and love, Earth's sister planet.

| - Any elementary school student should be well aware that Venus is the second planet of the Solar System. Covered by thick clouds of sulfuric acid, an average surface temperature greater than planet Mercury, a surface pressure which more resembles those found at the bottom of the oceans of Earth, and a surface covered in volcanoes and lava fields; it's safe to say that Venus is a prime definition of Hell. Given all the exploration which has taken place over the past 50 years, it might be hard to believe that at one point many artists and writers had a very different view of the planet. A living planet covered in oceans, jungles, and exotic creatures. In short, they saw a planet that lived up to Venus' namesake: the goddess of beauty and love, Earth's sister planet. Despite its bad reputation, is is currently believed that at one point in its history, the planet likely had oceans of water, which simply evaporated due to the planet's closer proximity to the Sun. It has also been theorized that Venus was impacted by larger bodies during its formation (a similar collision on the Earth is believed to have helped form the Moon). With all this chaos affecting the early Solar System, its makes wonder what would've happened to a planet with the slightest change. What if such a change took place at the rock that would become planet Venus. What if the planet followed a similar path as its sister planet. What would happen to humanity. What would happen if we had a Venusian Haven?
