      In all seriousness, I've heard this idea before in SF-adjacent circles; the point is that a gas mixture that resembles Earth's atmosphere is buoyant on Venus at an altitude where the pressure is around 1 Earth's atmosphere.

      Now, actually living there, suspended over some hot hellscape in a machine built by these guys of all options... lol. Lmao, even.
