The word "habitable" in that sentence should be surrounded by very, very large quotes.

There is a zone with Earth-like temperature and pressure, but the atmosphere is still poisonous & corrosive, I think. It's someplace we could probably put a human settlement, but it wouldn't be easy and would probably be as fun to maintain as the ISS.



Way less fun than the ISS, which is like stepping outside on a cold day in comparison. We will have colonies on the moon, Mars, and all the major moons of Jupiter before people are living in the clouds on Venus.


You won't even have colonies underwater, let alone there.


OTOH, one man's poison is another man's ISRU opportunity...
