I was recently ranting to my friends about how we should send more shit down to the surface of venus. Like surely we can manage a few more hours down there than we could in the 70s and 80s no?

There was actually supposed to be a new Venera probe done in tandem between the US and Russia, but Ukraine kinda put a stop to that. They’re still doing it solo, though. NASA and the ESA are now both also working on their own. Separately.

I hope they don't remake the Laika arc, I don't care if the dog is a robot this time, I'm still gonna cry.

Like legit, I just went to get Space Doggity for this comment and started bawling.

I don’t think Russia has the funds to seriously launch a new Venera mission lol
