Question:  I am a student at Truman High School. I'm in a new class called
electronic research. I would like to know what would be the best material to use 
if you were going to build a artificial habitat on the planet Venus.
The material could be as expensive as you think and please don't limit your
imagination

Answer:
Conditions on Venus :
Temp.   500 degrees celsius. Pressure At least 100 times that on earth
(atmospheric pressure).
So you need an outer core that can handle high temp. and pressure.
