 Hee!  You're in a hurry huh?  Earth was a greenhouse too, you know?
 Its past is much more like Venus now, and Earth's future is more like
 Mars.  We aren't going to be setting foot on Venus until it cools
 down in about a billion years or so.  How can you possibly say "we'll
 never set foot there" when you won't be here in a billion years?
