You left out one of the scariest aspects of Venus. Atmospheric pressure at the surface is roughly equivalent to the pressure you'd feel 3000 feet below the surface of an ocean on Earth. The atmosphere IS gaseous, not liquid, just at an extremely high pressure.
@timg27273 жыл бұрын
It's actually a supercritical fluid at that temperature and pressure, which means it has properties of both a gas and a liquid at the same time. The atmosphere of Venus is wild.

His sense of disappointment at how close they’d come to success was so evident. Space missions operate on very fine margins, when Beagle 2 was located on Mars and it was evident that it had reached the surface only to fail to properly deploy I immediately thought back to Mars 3.

If we can learn anything from the space programs is that humanity should unite, while keeping its unique traits. The idea of a big melting pot where we're one homogenous world-state would be a killer for creativity.

Out of this two missions, Mariner 2 made a first successful flyby of Venus in history. By a successful flyby, i mean the first ever to make a measurement of the physical characteristics of the planet venus and successfully report the results obtained during the flyby back to Earth.
