Am I the only one who would love to see a 360 degree panorama of the surface
of Earth's hellish twin Venus? It's such a fascinating environment. Any probes planned at any time in the future? I know Venus is much harder to land on than Mars, and you'd probably only have a working probe for a few hours at most, but it's a lot closer than Mars at least. Mars has been photographed from all over now, whilst Venus we only have the Venera images. I mean the Venera probes did a fantastic job, but their shots of the ground were just a tantalising glimpse really, with a hint of horizon in the corner there.Wouldn't it be great to be able to look up and see what this place looks like if you were standing there! It just seems like all the probes go to Mars, it would be nice to have one go to Venus and land, a panorama picture is worth a thousand words or radar images ![]() Kris My Energia HLLV page: http://www.k26.com/buran/ |
