Default Questionable Venus Surface Photograps

Um... if this planet's surface is over 800 degrees (F) and hot enough to melt

take photographs?????????????

Looks like another conspiracy theory (like so-called "Moon Hoax").

The russan probe only lasted about 30 mins and only 3 or 4 photos got back, in
15 mins the camera itself failed and by the end of the 30 mins the whole thing
failed.

Which is probably about what they expected and 15 and 30 minutes more
than anybody else, so it was a pretty good success.
