What we have brainstormed will be called S.S.A.V.C., standing for Self-Sustaining Atmospheric Venusian Colony. As in the name, it will be self-sustaining for life, the reason why we modified the air in the colony to be 78% nitrogen and 22% oxygen, equal to Earth's atmosphere, and able to be breathed. While being self-sustaining, it will also provide a base for science, research, and commercial mining. This will be a balloon like structure floating at 50 kilometers in the Venus atmosphere, equal to Earth's atmosphere at sea level. We know what you are asking, "If you guys will be floating, how are you not going to float away?" Well, we picked special materials to withstand certain factors, that will be anchored to the Venus surface (more on materials in second paragraph).

More on mining resources, we are going to mine resources on the molecular level. Now obviously this will be created far after 2018, but we are brainstorming. We would like to mine on the molecular level because the resources we chose all need carbon dioxide or oxygen to be created. Speaking of materials, the materials we have chosen to use on the outer lining of the balloon consist of; titanium, carbon fiber, and high density polyethylene. We chose this material because they are resistant to the corrosion of the sulfuric acid on Venus, and these materials are strong enough to resist the high winds, pressure, and heat of 700 degrees Fahrenheit. To build this colony, we will send 50-100 men to start building the colony, food and power sources, and mining machines. We will fly directly there, taking 97 days, instead of using the "Slingshot Effect," taking about 200 days. The "Slingshot Effect" is when a rocket ship uses another planets gravity to slow down and go faster when we want to travel somewhere.

We have shared this project with many companies such as NASA, Space X, Tronox, United Nations, Greenpeace, Trimex Sands, and many other major companies that may be able to help us with this project.
