Seems a tadbit odd there's so little honest Usenet

Even that old SR-71 Blackbird at the subfreezing and
humanly lethal altitude of 85,000', making mach 3.2 creates
an outter skin of 1200 degrees F, thus geting itself much
hotter than Venus.

So, where's the big insurmountable deal about the
geothermally active environment of Venus being a whole lot
less hot than what we otherwise deal with and obviously
survive on a regular terrestrial basis all the time?

That was extra stupid, Crazy Brad. You obviously don't
understand that temperature and heat are not the same thing.

You know better than that, as well as you know the honest jest
of what I'm driving at.

You're trying to be funny?

Earth's atmosphere is a gigantic heat sink. What's Venus's
equivalent? You obviously don't understand that temperature and
heat are not the same thing.


Earth's atmosphere cannot possibly be a heat sink, as it reradiates the
heat later. ;-)
