This is the surface of Venus, captured by a Soviet probe in the 1970s

A piece of one of these missions just crash landed in the Indian Ocean

I didnโ€™t even know the Soviets had landed crafts on Venus, took photos, recorded sounds, etc, until a few years ago

Crazy!

Cool, I didn't know that either.

How long did it last there I wonder- seem to remember sulfuric acid rain or something like that in that hood..

I believe it only lasted 15 minutes

Yeah its a fact that governments never lie

Ive always liked this photo comparing the different surfaces (including Venus)

My grandfather supervised the production of the Venice module, as well as several other Soviet space missions (the Lunokhod, the lunar soil sample, Phobos, and Halley's Comet). In fact, I still find unused spacecraft parts he brought in the garage.

Venus, not Venice of course

And here are the prospectus of an international project to send probes to Mars, which was not destined to come true, since the Soviet Union collapsed, and with it all state enterprises were forced to switch to the production of consumer goods (chandeliers, furniture, camping equipment)

Didn't know images could be that high-def in the 70s

What, did the USA go to the moon???

Looks very fake.

In comparison to what? How many other planets have you visited to compare with it? ๐Ÿ˜‰ probably is though.

Im confused. I thought the earth was flat and Venus was made up to justify womenโ€™s mood swings. I must have stumbled into the wrong internet echo chamber.

Humans have never landed anything on Venus; this is NASA Cinema taking a picture of some rocks so the peasants clap and throw more taxes at them

Well if you say so then it must be true

I bet the Sun is fake too. Just a really bright spotlight on the firmament

You didnโ€™t play โ€œBuzz Aldrinโ€™s race into spaceโ€

Doubt it

Here is the film how Venera7 and 8 were made https://youtu.be/opaFrbPDH3g?si=VnAKghLQbqbjRYWT

Venus can get fucked.

go there

Wow. Venus is also flat!

Interesting, but I canโ€™t believe it. Why do space agencies get a pass but all other govt things are scrutinized?

Awesome
