Were humans to aphrodaform our inner planetary neighbour, people may eventually be able to comfortably live on the surface. Aphrodaforming Venus, in many ways, would take the opposite approach to areaforming Mars: Instead of increasing surface pressure, an aphrodaformed Venus would require a massive decrease of atmospheric pressure.

The areology of Olympus Mons denotes it is over 20 km tall. Areological study of the planet is difficult at such a distance, so the only areologists on the planet are Martian rovers. "Geology is the areology of Earth"

The aphrodology of Maat Mons tells us that this volcanic peak is almost 5 km in height. Aphrodological study of the planet is difficult due to the intense heat and pressure at the planet's surface, so the only aphrodologists are those trying to send probes from Earth.

The phenomenon that something which was previously working correctly, suddenly does not work correctly when one tries to demonstrate the operation to others.
"The inventor Zuse was occasionally helped by this good fortune when, contrary to expectations, devices ran without any errors during important demonstrations, and he freely admits that this "inverse forefaran effect" has often helped him." (Der Computer — Mein Lebenswerk, by Springer-Verlag)

"The Expanse" (a T.V. show) demonstrates efforts to areaform the planet. By the late 22nd or 23rd centuries, Mars might be areaformed enough to allow comfortable living conditions for the human species (though continued areaforming would probably be desired).
