Therefore reduction means a receiving or gaining of electrons (decrease in its oxidation state),4 such as when an antioxidant donates an electron to a free radical. The free radical is reduced and the antioxidant is oxidized. The antioxidant is said to be the âreducing agentâ; it reduced the free radical.
First, alternatives to terraforming. It would be possible to live on Venus in the high atmosphere, in giant floating cities. Using a standard space-station atmospheric mix at about half an earth atmosphere, a pressurized geodesic sphere would float naturally somewhere above the bulk of the clouds of sulfuric acid.t would be possible to live on Venus in the high atmosphere, in giant floating cities.

On the plus side, it has gravity roughly similar to Earth, and a thick atmosphere that would protect you from radiation. Unfortunately, youâd die faster on the surface of Venus than almost anywhere else in the Solar System. Butâ¦ there is a place on Venus thatâs downright lovely. Up in the clouds.
