Inspired by the beginning of All Tomorrows, where the author predicts that Mars will be terraformed remotely before the first settlement. While I think this is unlikely, perhaps it would be more plausible for currently more hostile bodies such as Venus?

I'd expect airship-based settlements in the atmosphere of Venus, staying in the 50-to-60 km altitude range, long before any terraforming attempt.

And, well, no body in the solar system other than Mars or Venus is suitable to being terraformed.

@SEE do you think there will be Venus surface settlements before terraforming? And although certainly more difficult due to lack of atmosphere is it definitely impossible to terraform Mercury, the Moon, or Ceres?
