Isn't that the planet that is hotter than the planet that sits closer to the sun, has incredibly high atmospheric pressure and something that is not water rains from the skies?

Seems like a paradise, if we're considering using a nearby planet as a toxic waste dump.

    If you float high enough, you can get 1atm of pressure and not too much heat. You'd be above the nasty weather. You'd only need a very minimal space suit and breathing apparatus as well. But ocean gate is literally the last company I'd trust with that.
