“Our closest planetary neighbor” Venus: am I a joke to you?

[GneasYTC]

That was a hell of an achievement for 1971, going in blind and managing to get the lander down safely.
What happened then was just lousy luck on the timing.

Thank you for not playing obnoxious dramatic LOUD music in your videos... We can actually understand your narrator... Thank you!

Imagine being the Russian guy probably running on 3 hours of sleep and mistyping “150” instead of “1.5” lmao

Only people on the fringes still thought there were canals on Mars before any flybys or landings in the 60s. In the early 1900s better telescopes had shown the canals not to be so visually and spectroscopy had shown that there simply wasn't enough water there.

Can we just relish the fact, that USSR/CCCP managed to - more or less blindly - land a vehicle on mars at 2nd attempt, setting the template for all future landings?
Well-produced and well-told, thanks for the good work! Ending was a bit abrupt, though! :) Would have liked to know more about why the failure etc, since the archives were scrounged when the Soviet Republic collapsed....

It was so secret that it was in Newspapers all over the world

Thank you. Great information about early landings on Mars. Subscribed!

For those of you seriously interested in the Russian post war Space Programme I can highly recommend James Harford's 'Korolev', the story of the Genius behind Sputnik ang Gagarin's first flight into outer space.

"our closest planetary neighbor." Incorrect. At :55 seconds in. Venus is our closest planetary neighbor. The USSR also landed a probe on the surface of Venus. Further, you could make a case that 'on average' Mecury is closer to the Earth than Mars.

Thank you for using all correct international units (i.e., km) without apology (miles in parentheses). You are one of the few YouTube science communicators willing to take this bold step. I salute you!

Nice production, as always, appreciated.

[nutier]

Wonderful video ! I love it so much . Happy week to you !

[petarswift]

It is a myth that the scientific community before the American and Soviet space programs did not know that Mars was cold and Venus was warm.

[mrwhoo]

Amazing content! Keep up the good work!

[BedujiNuji]
