Yes it is.

You-all ever hear about land probes on Venus? No? Well I'll tell you why.

I don't think U.S. has put anything over there, but the U.S.S.R. did. The best one Lasted a couple hours. The atmosphere is so caustic that it eats up whatever we drop over there.

Mercury is too dang hot, way to dang hot.

Luna is dead, dead, dead. And dry and just about useless.

Everything else is just too far away, though compared to terraforming Mars, getting to the Jovian satellites is no that big a deal.
