"We can also probably generate artificial gravity eventually"
that would be a total game changer ofc. but it is complete science fiction as of now. rn we only have spin gravity which is only viable in space. can't imagine how dangerous it would be on the surface and what it would take to spin a city in a gravity well.
"Not sure about Venus, don’t know much about it. I thought it was much hotter though?"
yeah on the surface it's horrible, but it has habitable zones and possibly even life in it's atmosphere. it's closer to the sun so solar energy is abundant in orbit. you should read up on it, venus is much more likely to work out for us for a colony.
