NASA is Going Back to Venus!

NASA is going back to Venus after more than 30 years. Venus once had an atmosphere similar to ancient Earth. It had lakes of liquid water and possibly even life at some point in its history. But today, it’s a hellish world where the average surface temperature is 460°C or 860°F. NASA’s upcoming DAVANICI+ (DAVINCI plus) mission will attempt to find out what went wrong with Venus. It will comprise a spacecraft and a probe.

The spacecraft will track the cloud movements and study the planet’s heat escaping through its thick atmosphere to map the surface. On the other hand, the probe will descend through the atmosphere to sample its chemistry along with the temperature, pressure, and winds. So DAVINCI+ is expected to change our understanding of Venus and provide crucial insights into how the planet transformed.

Imagine humans lived there and we came here because we destroyed that place and we killed the dinosaurs on out arrival (i know its fantasy but it’s always fun to think about stuff like that)

[LiterallyaDarkVoid]

"Achievement completed!": How did we get here?

[CrimTube]

What went wrong: It's closer to the sun and has way more volcanic activity than earth that never waned.

[ikanberapi]

Venus: too hot
Mars: too cold
Moon: cant breath

[smartlearning]

imagine finding ancient buildings ruins on venus, we would be terrified

[floppi]

Meanwhile the ussr who already had a probe on venus that survived 2 whole hours 🗿

That thing’s atmosphere is my bed when I’m trying to sleep.

Plot twist: Venus is actually Hell. When the devs made the earth server they didn’t have enough space to punish bad players so they made Venus.

DaVinci + sounds like a museum streaming service

[milesdodson]

Plot twist: They are actually just going to France to check out a statue of Venus (Venus De Milo)

[anirprasadd]

They should instead focus on Titan and Europa. That will be really exciting

What went wrong with Venus.
'they trashed their planet too'.

Mission accomplished.

[lawrencenjawe]

This planet has always fascinated me..Even moreso than Mars .. Venus' mystery is veiled beneath a dense atmosphere which renders it even more enigmatic.

Bro when I saw the thumbnail I literally thought it was a hamburger bun 💀💀

[NickAndriadze]

The fact that the exploration mission is called Da Vinci brings me so much joy.

[seemayadav]

Bro sounds like Quandale Dingle if he was British 💀

[genkam]

Respect to the cameraman for holding his breath 💀

[creeperking]

I like how it's called the DaVinci mission because I think the pod looks like the DaVinci tank maybe it's related

It'd just be interesting to get a flyover video, or just some clip of the surface with audio. What I'd give for an HDR experience on future space missions, really get a chance to experience another world outside of data and renders.

India's isro 🇮🇳
Also planning a space mission to venus name ( shukryan 1)
May be in 2027
