If this project will be undertaken, it will happen in 2026.

I can't even imagine a volcano 5 miles high! There's so much to think about after reading this article.

Doesn't seem possible Venus and the Earth were once similar.

I'm surprised there hasn't been so much more discussion in ordinary places about this.

Thank you, so much!
