SPOILER ALERT
we already have above cloud cities on venus trump just declassified them softly
"NASA's 'brilliant' plan for a cloud city of airships in the atmosphere of Venus
Popular science fiction of the early 20th century depicted Venus as some kind of wonderland of pleasantly warm temperatures, forests, swamps and even dinosaurs.
In 1950, the Hayden Planetarium at the American Natural History Museum were soliciting reservations for the first space tourism mission, well before the modern era of Blue Origins, SpaceX and Virgin Galactic.
All you had to do was supply your address and tick the box for your preferred destination, which included Venus.
It is also geologically young, having undergone catastrophic resurfacing events.
Such extreme events are caused by the build up of heat below the surface, eventually causing it to melt, release heat and re-solidify.
Certainly a scary prospect for any visitors.
Luckily, the idea behind NASA's new mission is not to land people on the inhospitable surface, but to use the dense atmosphere as a base for exploration.
No actual date for a HAVOC type mission has been publicly announced yet.
This mission is a long term plan and will rely on small test missions to be successful first."

"Jeff Bezos predicts we'll have 1 trillion humans in the solar system, and Blue Origin wants to help get us there
Blue Origin founder and Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos predicts we'll have 1 trillion humans in the solar system one day — and he laid out Monday how the rocket company plans to help get there.
"I won't be alive to see the fulfillment of that long-term mission," Bezos said at the Wired 25th anniversary summit in San Francisco. "We are starting to bump up against the absolute true fact that Earth is finite."
Blue Origin's aim is to lower the cost of access to space, Bezos said. He will spend a "little more" than $1 billion next year to support Blue Origin, he said."
