Don't worry. It's not underrated. Something with that much brute strength and resistance, enough to survive on frickin' Venus was a crowning technological achievement by the Soviets, recognized the world over. It's still pretty much the only non-Mars probe taught in Earth/Space sciences in schools anymore. Venera 8 did it again, lasting about 50 minutes, so roughly twice as long. I think it was Venera 8 that discovered the minerals on Venus's surface that's very common in middle-ish depths of Earth's oceans. It might also have been the one to record the very first lightning strike seen on the planet.

Venus doesnt have any evidence of tectonic activity so the volcanic activity is released when a large amount of pressure is there and the volcanos, quite literally, bust their tops open and go on for a long time until the crust heals. So the possibility of a large impactor, maybe mars size like with what hit Earth, could've caused a global mass eruption for thousands if not hundreds of thousands of years.

Had the opportunity to work on Venus during the Magellan Mission, mapping the surface along one of the better Pioneer Venus gravity lines. I still have my original hand drawn maps somewhere in the house. I’m surprised some of your graphics show much more cratering on the surface than there should be. As for the big difference, I think it is the Moon. The impact that created our Moon also sped the rotation of the Earth so that it is today a little over 200 times faster than Venus. After the impact we were rotating up to 4 times faster than today. Interestingly when you look at the Magnetic Field of Venus it’s approximately 200 times weaker than the Earth’s Magnetic Field. Without some sort of impact vent to rev up the rotation of the planet it was stuck with a weak magnetic field, and days so long that surface temperatures were able to quickly sore and cause a run away greenhouse affect. Additionally, I hypothesize Earth Style Plate Tectonics needs a massive impact event to create the necessary conditions to allow the convection within the resulting magma/lava ocean to evolve into what we now know as plate tectonics. This would also have aided in starting a carbon cycle capable of locking CO2 into carbonate rocks, much like appears to have happened on Earth after the Moon Forming Event.

Whatever the cause of our much greater magnetic field, I have long thought that it was the real critical difference. Of course, it helps to shield Earth from solar wind and gamma radiation, but in my mind more critical is that it acts as an enormous net, catching hydrogen from the solar wind (in the form of protons and electrons, which can then associate into hydrogen), allowing the reactions dependent on hydrogen, especially formation of water. The reaction cross-section of Earth to charged particles should be thousands or millions of rimes greater than Venus, capturing enough light volatile elements, particularly hydrogen, for this to be a water-coated world.

Notably, there's an altitude band in the clouds that might be pretty decent for human habitation. Altitudes at which temperatures are comfortable are going to be a bit low on the pressure, but still high enough to run a comfortable oxygen-nitrogen mix without drastic increase of a fire risk. There is also less sulfuric acid at these altitudes, which while still extremely corrosive to metals, opens up a door to construction from certain kinds of plastics or metals coated in plastics. Comfortable Earth-like gravity, comfortable temperatures, and equalized pressure means that a simple and light habitat construction can be suspended by balloons. Since there is no significant pressure difference, any breach would not be an immediate danger, possibly fixable with some duct tape, and even if you have to go outside briefly in an emergency, you can survive by just holding your breath - though, you'll need shower immediately afterwards to get rid of the acid. Still, way better than Mars, where you'll be dead within seconds. The wind speeds are very high at that altitude, but they are non-turbulent, so you're just carried with the clouds at high speeds. Around equator, it would also give you a very reasonable day-night cycle as you circumnavigate Venus. There is enough sunlight reaching these altitudes to power solar panels and grow plants, and you can extract sulfuric acid to process into water and use it to grow algae for air, nutrition, and even to process into fuel and plastics. If you can find a way to collect minerals from the surface and lift them to the station via balloons, this place could be entirely self-reliant. All in all, not the worst place to set up a colony.

​@@another3997 Living on the surface of Mars is absolutely pointless. You get no protection from radiation and atmosphere is thin enough to be same as vacuum for our bodies, meaning the shelter has to be built same as if you were building for deep space, but also sturdy enough to withstand getting blasted by sand all the time. The gravity is too weak for human health, but strong enough to hinder mobility. Same problem with atmosphere - it's too thin for any benefits, but thick enough to hinder rocket ascent and having to deal with weather. Even landing on parachutes isn't viable there, and that's the only good thing the atmosphere does for you getting onto a planet. If you are interested in mining for minerals, you're better off finding a large asteroid and living in an orbital station with centrifugal gravity. No toxic dust, no sand storms, Earth-like gravity in the habitat, while you still get to enjoy convenience of zero g and absolute vacuum for any industrial work. We might get something out of a science outpost on Mars, but a Martian colony is among the worst ideas one can come up with. The only place that might be worse is Jupiter's clouds due to very high gravity. Absolutely every other place in the Solar System is better for human habitation than the surface of Mars. Deep underground is another matter - no radiation, no weather, less danger of an air leak. But it's life in the tunnels and you still have to live with gravity that's unhealthily low. We don't know how bad it is for human health - it might be possible to adjust, but it's not comfortable living. I can't think of any reason to subject yourself to that when there are other options in Sol.

I actually paused the video a few minutes before it ended because I was kind of overcome with how neat humans are. I've been feeling very jaded and grumpy lately, because we can be so shitty. But . . . also we make are and explore space, not because we have to, but just because we want to. And it's pretty amazing. And then Simon pretty much summed it up after I pushed play again. I feel a bit better now. That was unexpected.

I don't think it's unreasonable to consider that there once was life on Venus. It depends if you believe life finds a way in the right conditions or you think it's insanely rare. Cos both mars and Venus had the right conditions once. Edit: now I hate that I probably have to clarify "life".. I don't mean complex life. I mean simple life. Complex life has gotta be rare. The amount of near complete extinction even earth has had, and that's the most stable thing we know. lol

Mariner 2 is still in a solar orbit around the sun. It's still on the tangential orbit that it took to get to Venus in 1962, but when it crosses its orbit, Venus isn't there. Mariner 2 is also likely still in mint condition although obviously very dead. It also could have been gravitationally tossed into the sun, an asteroid, or deep space. Sometime in the late 21st century, I think it might be cool if some spacecraft somehow came across Mariner 2 and took it to be displayed in a museum on Mars or something.

@@kellydalstok8900 there's far far too many variables that go into what actually make a planet habitable, it's very complicated and we won't know more until we get a lot more research done on the histories of these planets. the goldilocks zone is a useful indicator that, hey this planet might have a chance for having liquid water but planets that are just outside could also have the right conditions. if the earth would be shoved to venus' location we would all be baked alive but if the earth's atmosphere became much more reflective then we could carry on as normal, mostly.

At 14.97 psi (say 15 psi) at sea level this atmospheric pressure is equivalent to being 30 m underwater. So if Venus’ atmospheric pressure is the equivalent to being 1.5 km underwater it is 50 times greater than earth’s. Since the Venusian atmosphere is 95 % CO2 we can say that CO2 is solely responsible for the pressure as an “accurate” approximation. Since the mass of Venus is slightly less than earth’s mass, & mass determines gravitational attraction, it is not planetary mass that is causing the high pressure. Since planetary mass positively correlates with the mass of gases that a planet is able retain around itself, and gas temperature negatively correlates with same, Venus’s lesser mass & higher temperature means that it’s atmospheric pressure should be less. The planet is acting as a pressure cooker, which means there has to be a lid. Could it be that heavier gases are above the lighter gases, refusing to mix with them, unable to escape to space, and acting as that lid?

With it's similar gravity venus might actually be terraformable, unlike mars. Sure it's covered in acid, but that's something we could theoretically fix or work around. You can't make mars heavier, not without liquefying the surface from dropping mass down there, so cooling some clouds to rain them down to the surface of venus starts to look pretty doable in comparison.

@@alexandercampbell3386 despite your rudeness and lack of simple biological and meteorological knowledge, I'll still answer you 🤣😄 wearing weights would help with some of your support muscles, but it only slows the problem of low gravity. You can't put weights on your eyeballs, or your veins, or your heart, and those are the bits of you that suffer the most from low gravity. As for the weather bit, it's very simple to cool a planet. Not easy, but simple, they're called sunshades, ultra thin foil satellites that unfold and reflect sunlight away from a planetary surface. Go watch some Isaac Arthur or read anything written on terraforming before making a fool of yourself online bud.

Totally love this comment. It sent my insomniac mind on one of it's little journeys, just kinda dancing in circles around an idea. I scribbled down this alternative (amusing, I think) analogy & came back to share: Venus is the bitter divorcee, moping around in defiant retrograde rotation, swathed in dowdy acid clouds. Standoffish, jaded and pessimistic, curtly rebuffing any attempts at intimacy, they're overly dramatic and no fun at parties. Earth is the flighty one, follower of trends and the latest fads - plate tectonics, ice ages, supercalderas, mass extinctions, you name it, Earth's done it. Always accompanied by a garish moon and, lately, bedazzled with artificial satellites and warbling their weird music across the spectrum. Finally, Mars is the scrappy one, small but fierce; resilient, outspoken, scarred and tattooed. Proud of their bulging southern highlands and prominent shield volcanoes, unashamed of their impact basins, their frantically circling moonlets, their equatorial canyons and outflow channels boldly on display. This is fun! By dawn I'll have probably anthropomorphized the whole solar system.
