I have a way to possibly make Venus habitable. What it would need is to create millions of robot ships that get into a type of synchronous orbit that wouldn't match the rotation of the planet, but, the orbit of the planet around the sun. These robot ships would spread out large canvases to block out the sun and cool it down. OTHER robot ships would then crash into the planet containing a LOT of ant-acid to weaken the sulferic acid, and, robot ships containing genetically modified seeds would be scattered after that produce plants to help absorb the carbon dioxide. IF it started getting TOO cold for the planet, the robot ships would pull in their canvases, allowing sun-light back onto the planet's surface. The ONLY way to live on Venus would be to repair, replace, and up-keep the robot ships. A similar thing would take place on Mars, but, instead of robot ships to block out the sun, it would have robot ships containing reflectors to heat the planet up. Water provided by comets.

  Create robots that can reproduce themselves. Von Neumann machines. Create a few designs for some specific tasks, and let them have at it. Drop a few comets in the atmosphere to dissolve acid and carbon dioxide. This would help cool in conjunction with shield or reflective solution.
  For Mars, once it has been determined whether or not life is still around, then the comets if it is determined to be lifeless, or minimally effected. I wouldn't mind a ringside seat for this one.

      or you could just drop a hydrogen bomb into one of the volcanoes on mars which would produce a hydrogen rich nuclear winter resulting in a greenhouse effect, melting the polar caps and making the planet habitable. than add seeds.
