No, you aren't. Many people have had the idea. We're just saying how this one in particular won't work. No need to be antagonistic.

Yes it absolutely does. Planets of the solar system are the finest specimens in current astronomy due to their accessibility. As soon as they are contaminated, the specimen is compromised.

So let me get this straight: we produce an extraordinary amount of spacecraft with nuclear thermal propulsion, launch them into LEO using chemical rockets, capture orbital debris and then send both the engines and debris to venus, costing a conservative estimate of tens of millions per launch?

Idk what tech we're talking about.

Don't need to be, just physics. We need to be able to get the nuke engines into space. The only launch vehicles available are chemical rockets.

And how do we get those into space?

So what's your alternative?

Probably been said, but the significant delta-v required to take an object from low earth orbit and place it on a trajectory to intercept venus makes this impractical. It would require an ungodly amount of energy.
