Venus is volcanically alive, new find shows

To be fair, the gravity thing is pretty hard to fix. You can imagine putting rotating sunshield/mirrors into orbit to fix the day/night/temperature problem, but mass is mass.

The Earth weighs more than everything else between the sun and Jupiter combined, and Venus is 80% of that.

I think Venus gravity is actually fine enough and not in need of fixing. (Old people would probably love it)

But yes, I also see no way of "fixing" the g of mars(which is likely way too low for humans), unless we go into the buisness of planet building.

We don't really have a way to know until we get experimental data (real humans on Mars). Until then, it's all just (un)educated guesses.

We know that long time weightlessness causes damage, so 38% of earths gravity will likely have some bad effect, too. This is not just wildly speculating. But yes, for finding out, whether humans still can bear it, we will have to find out and there is no shortage of volunteers.
