Venus colonization might be practically impossible. Venus might have turbulence that is too strong to build practical Venusian colonies. We have observed clouds on Venus that appear similar to cumulus cloud columns on Earth.

This might indicate the existence of thunder storm level turbulence on venus. The real fuck you might come from a recently observed atmospheric wave on Venus. On Earth, atmospheric waves have been known to tear airplanes apart. This may not be the case on Venus as said colonies are much much higher than than the ground, but the fact that we can image the wave means that the ground is interacting with the cloud layer at which our colonies would be. If this wave does produce strong turbulence, there is no way for our colony to avoid it.
