A scientific impossibility.

I enjoy John Ayliff's seedship. I will happily click away in a very programmatic fashion. Mindfuly colonizing world after world. I often set my colonists up against harsh odds or uniquely suboptimal scenarios on purpose. I've learned how to create dystopian police states with formulaic regularity. Most worlds seem believable, and nothing is left to luck or chance really. The scores are predictable and there's very little happenstance.

But a very hot high gravity ocean world with a marginally breathable atmosphere? It seems a bit far fetched. With seas boiling at the surface..

I could see one of these hot, that's just steamy jungle Dagobah or Dune hot.

Very hot is the surface of venus hot. 600 degrees. F°
