NASA Announces Two New Missions To Explore Venus

NASA has announced two new missions to Venus, launching in 2028 and 2030, to explore the planet’s origins. NASA Science Mission Directorate, Thomas Zurbuchen, joins News NOW to explain what the missions hope to find out about Earth’s planetary neighbor.

I can't wait for these to go to Venus.

Can't help thinking of Marvin the Martian everytime i hear Mr. Zurbuchen

NASA, China and others should send drone carrier rockets into space.
Countries and Universities around the world could sponsor the drones deployed from the carrier rockets.
Many hands make short work. Many drones could make coordinated exploration and coordinated space projects.
Each university could have a set of exploration drones that could be sublet to colleges, high schools and even primary schools.

I’m under the impression that Venus was an earth and we f’d it up like we’re doing to earth. We’re locust.

I don't think we are ready to go to Venus! We don't have any equipment that could function under the extreme heat. The average temperature on Venus is 864° Fahrenheit (463°Celcius). Temperature changes slightly traveling through the atmosphere growing cooler the farther away from the surface of the planet. Lead would melt on the surface of the planet, where the temperatures are around 872° F... The distance to Venus from Earth is 234, 743, 183 kilometers. The distance to Venus from the Sun is 108 million kilometers or 67 million miles. Venus doesn't have any moons because the Sun's gravitational pull would cause the moon to swing out & into the Sun. Orbiting Venus may not be so simple because the spacecraft could be pulled in by the Sun. You are talking about temendous heat & gravitational pull... The spacecraft would be contaminated with radiation. The radiation levels would sky rocket. They would have to have computor equipment that could withstand that heat. I just don't think it is feasible at this point...

Thanks to our greatest president ever Joe Biden all this is

Space is fake. God is real. We live in a Firmament (Dome), surrounded by water 💦, created by God. Gen1:7 “ And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.”

Nice to see that taxpayers money is on a mission to find Marvin Martian but right now honestly couldn't that money be used to help the American citizen get on his feet?
