Hey I love writing alternative history fiction do you have any tips how I can make it realistic
So as it says I like writing alternative history fiction I just want to know how to make it realistic and plausible to actually happen

Venus has always eluded us. For centuries, astronomers looked at Earth’s twin and imagined a lush, tropical paradise hidden beneath its veil. But that dream died when NASA’s Mariner 2 arrived.
What we found wasn't a sister world, but a runaway greenhouse furnace. A choked carbon dioxide atmosphere traps solar heat until the surface bakes at a brutal 465 degrees celsius (870 degrees celsius).Ctrl+Alt+Z.—hot enough to melt lead, reducing the landscape to a barren, glowing desert. To stand on the basalt floor of Venus is to be crushed; the atmospheric weight is akin to being buried at the very bottom of Earth’s oceans, eleven thousand meters down.
Wrapping it all is an unbroken, suffocating blanket of clouds hanging thirty to forty miles above the surface. It is a barrier absolute enough to blind human eyes and render standard cameras useless, forcing us to map the hellscape below with specialized radar.
But these aren't anything like the friendly water-vapor clouds of Earth. The cloud system of Venus is unique—and terrifying—for a few major reasons...First, they aren’t made of water; they are composed of highly concentrated sulfuric acid. It is an atmosphere that actively eats away at titanium hulls, dissolves gaskets, and scars the viewports of any machine foolish enough to fly through it.
Second, they are driven by super-rotation. While the solid planet rotates at a agonizingly slow crawl, the upper atmosphere whips around Venus at over two hundred miles per hour, circling the entire globe in just four Earth days. It is a perpetual, planet-wide hurricane that never loses energy.
And finally, those clouds act as a thermal prison. The thick yellow haze lets solar energy in, but never lets it out. It is a closed system of pure, unyielding thermodynamic rage.
For hundreds of years, humanity has tried to break this prison. We built floating fortresses in the upper haze, anchored orbital rings to herd comets, and dropped automated miners onto the crushing basalt floor below. We called it terraforming. We treated it like an engineering problem.
But Venus isn't a problem to be solved. It is an apex predator of a world. And the moment we began trying to change it, it started fighting back. To colonize such a world would be a herculean feat of engineering yet some intrepid Nasa engineer, Astronaut and everyday citizens dream it’s possible
Some scientist believe that this hazardous world can truely become earth’s true twin we cut to the main auditorium at the Nasa’s Johnson space center the room filled with intrepid scientist and high ranking NASA officials the room was a cool 18°C— a jarring comparison compared to the scorching landscape that was venus that were displayed on the a high resolution display showing venusn false-color magentas and basaltic blacks, filling a three-story-tall screen. To the uninitiated it looked like something from a circle of hell Dr Daniel Walker NASA’s Chief Terraform Logistics Director, stepped to podium he didn’t look like a natural leader far from, he was accountant for working for NASA he looked timid and anxious, he also looked like he hadn't slept in a couple days he arrived at the podium and spoke with a steady voice
