** The [[SomeKindOfForcefield force-field]]-like magnetic radiation shielding - purely theoretical; although is they have access to ''magnetically''-contained fusion, it's not much of a stretch.

** To leave the surface of Venus and go back to orbit requires about 27 kilometers per second of delta-v (change in velocity), because of its dense atmosphere. For comparison, orbiting Earth requires a delta-v of 9 to 10 km/s. The rocket would need to be much larger (and be multi-stage instead of a single stage, like in [[https://youtu.be/Em11onVu8_E?t=1317 this video]]), or the engine would need to have both high thrust and very high efficiency. Real-life spaceflight propulsion systems have had one or the other, but not both.

** The toroidal aerospike rockets that allow the landers ''Orpheus'' and ''Ares'' to descend to and take off from Venus and Mars respectively - aerospike engines have undergone testing and a ''linear'' aerospike was even proposed for the Space Shuttle, but none have been flown into space,.
