Is this plan pheasible?

Question

I asked about venus's L1 point because I think if we built a very large solar shield and placed it at Venus's L1 point, where it would stay for a long period, we could perhaps, over time, freeze the atmosphere of Venus, making it easier to mine and ship to Mars. This would remove some of Venus's atmosphere, of which it has too much, and add some atmosphere to Mars, which has too little. This would be a first step to terraforming both planets.

It's a very long range plan, of course!

Answer 1

Wow...are you a mad scientist?

Answer 2

Utterly ridiculously impossible. The temperatures on Venus aren't caused by the sun, they are caused by the atmosphere's intense pressure. It simply wouldn't freeze. And besides the atmosphere has so many toxic chemicals it would probably kill Mars even if it was possible to take it there. The cost and length of time, plus the toxicity of the Venusian atmosphere makes it truly impossible.

Answer 3

There is no way we could do such a giant task. Just think about taking the top 30 feet of all the Earth's oceans to Mars. That is the size of the task you are talking about. It is impossibly large.
