There Once Was A Woman From Venus….

 



What a disappointment eh? Acid rain, hot enough to boil lead, poisonous corrosive atmosphere. The whole place is just a great big write-off.  It’s interesting - the guys that beak off about Russians being nothing more than drunken peasants and thugs - only the Russians have managed to put actual probes on the surface. Their rocket engines are the best in the world and NASA was actually buying them at one point - they run at higher temps and pressures than American ones.

If I recall, Bud Abbot and Lou Costello went to Venus and it was a lush green tropical paradise populated by beautiful women? That was back in the day though, when Hollywood wanted to entertain kids rather than groom them…

  2. Perhaps. The first Russian Venus probe functioned for a bit under 15 minutes if I recall. The second lasted around 45 minutes. The technical challenges alone are worth the doing. If we can do things like this…it speaks well of us.

    But whadda I know…?
