Scientific paper

Instrumentation used in planetary and interplanetary probes to search for life are reviewed, and methods of altering the Venus atmosphere to make the planet susceptible to human colonization are discussed. Noting that further investigations of the conditions in the southern hemisphere of Mars during the hottest part of the Mars year are necessary in order to categorically rule out life on that planet, attention is given to redirecting an earth grazing asteroid (EGA) to Venus. The scheme is to use one or two kiloton bombs in the center of an EGA, vented outward in a channel to produce thrust, to the neighborhood of Venus and then either blow it up, make it collide with another asteroid, or crash it into the planet. The resultant dust cloud is expected to cancel the greenhouse effect present on Venus. Placing the dust cloud in a Lagrangian point would assure the stability and long-term residence.
