Though a terrestrial planet with a dense atmosphere largely composed of [[carbon dioxide]], Venus was once a candidate for [[human]] colonization, and a [[terraforming]] project was initiated on the planet. However, as of some point during or after the late 23rd century, this project was considered a failure.<ref name="mythos"/>{{Ref/Note|The ''Halo Mythos'' map which confirms that Venus was the site of a failed terraforming project also contains references to the [[Shaw Institute Facility]], likely named after [[Tobias Fleming Shaw]], and mentions a [[slipstream space|slipspace]] monitoring station on [[Pluto]]. Given that Tobias Shaw was born in [[2220]] and that the 23rd century saw the advent of the first human slipspace technology, this map must be chronologically depicting the Sol system at some point in the late 23rd century or later.}} | ||
