But the truth is, we learned about the Soviet accomplishments in space and it was admirable what the Soviets were able to accomplish. I am American, and the Soviet exploration of Venus is one of the things that led me to a career in space exploration. It was an incredible accomplishment for the Soviet Union, and their successes could not be denied. Much respect to the Soviet space program. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Now, today’s russia would never be able to duplicate what the Soviet Union accomplished with regard to Venus. Heck, they tried to land a probe on the moon and instead, it crashed. The russian federation is focusing all its efforts onto war, and today they can’t even duplicate many Soviet technologies. Maybe it’s because the Ukrainians were always an integral part of the Soviet space program, maybe it’s because the russian federation hasn’t allocated much funding for space exploration… maybe it’s because putin will jail scientists who fail to deliver what he says russia already has. Either way, russia can’t do much of what the Soviet Union could. The Soviet Union was the last time that moscow will ever be part of a superpower.

[@Rocket_scientist_88]

The Soviets (it was the russians, the Ukrainians, the Georgians, Armenians, Lithuanians, Estonians, Latvians, Kazakhstanis, etc.) were indeed tenacious and resourceful. They accomplished so much, and I still use a fluids handbook written by I.E. Idelchik - because it is considered a classic in hydraulic physics. I have a lot of respect for the Soviet Union’s technological accomplishments. I do not respect the russian federation as such, it became an oligarchy and now is a full blown fascist dictatorship - and putin’s focus has not been on high level tech development. But the Soviets? They were pretty amazing. I know we were taught to see them as adversaries, but when it came to technology - many Americans like me held the Soviet scientists in very high regard. Much respect to them. 🫡

[@mikedramatologist9484]

Growing as a child in USSR, I was of course fascinated with space exploration, especially Venus. It was believed that planets were divided between USA and USSR, so soviets got Venus and capitalists got Mars as areas of their interests. The floating cities ideas for Venus colonisation was widely discussed in USSR and believed to be most viable option, as it would provide living conditions in near normal temperature and pressure, just as you showed it in your video, however the actual appearance was proposed to be more like spinning toy, with lower tip being in hotter temperatures and used for power plants and upper parts being more flat and used for crop production and living quarters. I really enjoyed your video and appreciate using both measurement systems, since some temperatures and distances I can relate only in SI. Thank you!

[@KitsuyuutsuR]

I saw this program in school back in third grade (this was the early 80s) about Venus. It was sci-fi, sort of… A lot of the technical stuff was actual science. The gist of it was that we wanted to try and make Venus habitable and how could we go about doing so. The first thing was to make sure there was no life on the planet (check) then find a way to change the CO2 atmosphere wet something breathable (not really check since there’s a lot of sulfur in it, but this was the early 80s remember). The solution? Send a probe to release a quick multiplying algae in the atmosphere to take in the CO2 and release oxygen to slowly start changing the atmosphere. In hindsight, I don’t know why they would have used this concept as even then they knew that 78% of our atmosphere is nitrogen and only 21% is oxygen, but I digress… Anyway, the plan worked and the atmosphere started slowly changing. Eventually they were able to send two astronauts to Venus to check things out. They still had to wear the big astronaut suits (the air still wasn’t breathable), but they were able to be on the planet, walking around, you could see the sun like you can see it here on Earth when the cloud cover is thick. The main astronaut is narrating as they’re walking and they make a discovery. He tells us that when they checked to make sure there was no life on Venus, they never thought to look underground. There WAS life and our changing the atmosphere killed them all off and that, whatever they were… We see him lift up a large, dried up brain, the remnants of the former life of Venus… He then tells us, “They were intelligent…” For some reason, that show has stuck with me for over 40 years. I only saw it once and I have no idea what it was, what it was called, but it was so impactful that I never forgot it. I was always fascinated by space and the idea of visiting other worlds, the idea that there’s other intelligent life out there somewhere. School was different back then. They really nurtured our minds and made us think outside the box of all things possible, to reach for the stars… I shudder when I think of what the schools are teaching kids today…

Venus, has obvious traces of once having water, the planet was created at the same time as earth. So how do you get primordial from something the same age? Venus will never change again, it's now a hybrid rocky gas planet. Venus is the end, not the beginning. Venus had a runaway greenhouse because it lacks a moon. Most of Venus' problems can be directly traced to this fact, including it's odd rotation.

Mars is the leading place in future, followed by the moons. Venus just could be suitable for a robust machinery of mining bots, connected to landing units which take the minerals from the miners before starting up to the orbital stations, from where the goods would be shipped to our besettled worlds.

Living on another planet would cause many to go insane. Why would I say this? Many have not lived in jail, in a brick building and away from all things life. Living underground for your whole life or in a building, never really going outside to see the beauty of nature, like trees and animals. It would be more like a isolated camp where you see the same people every day for years on end. People would go insane as the excitement wears off. Every day would be life or death living on Mars or any other planet that is not Earth.
