The terraforming of Venus is the theoretical process of engineering the global environment of the planet Venus in such a way as to make it suitable for human habitation. Terraforming Venus was first seriously proposed by the astronomer Carl Sagan in 1961, [1] although fictional treatments, such as The Big Rain by Poul Anderson, preceded it. en.wikipedia.org How Do We Terraform Venus? universetoday.com

Perhaps you should try reading something, first. Everyone knows the surface is too hot. Which is why it has been described as "a searing black calm". So your nitwit idea of landing is widely known as stupid. But at the level where the air pressure is similar to Earth surface pressure, the temperature is closer to room temperature. As a bonus, a nitrogen/oxygen mixture like we have on Earth has a buoyancy of about half of helium in Earth's atmosphere. nextbigfuture.com NASA has proposed a mission to explore Venus based on these facts nextbigfuture.com "Better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool than to open it and remove all doubt".
