Now lets get that Venus balloon project going!
That would be a good thing. The Soviet Union's landers didn't last long
on the surface and the pictures returned revealed nothing but rocks.
It's time that the atmosphere is explored since temperatures and
pressures are much more reasonable at altitude on Venus.
But let's temper our hopes for actual life. What's been detected is a
chemical signature that could indicate life. Or it could be from a so
far unknown chemical process that's unique to the atmosphere of Venus.
