The channel Asianometry has a better vid on this topic. Look for it. 😉
Damn the soviets failed so hard. How many probes did the u.s. land on venus?
For God's sake keep the same volume level in your voice instead of tapering off to a bloody whisper at the end of every sentence. You can do it with your sponsor spot.
That thumbnail is very stupid.
Imagine if Jupiter had a surface, we might not know about it yet…
So when it’s science it’s the Soviets. Otherwise it’s MUH RUSSIA
I never knew that I had never heard of the Soviet Venusian Venereal Probes.
Although imagine the odds that the Russian probe was followed by Mariner 5 the very next day.
Venus wasn't the "Roman God of Love and Beauty".
She was the Roman Goddess of Love and Beauty.
Wish we'd go back with new tech and get high res color pics.
If they made the probes out of melted microwave cheese they wouldn't have to worry because nothing is hotter than melted microwave cheese.
The audio mixing is all over the place recently. I have to keep adjusting volume up and down through all your new videos.
…….STILL………..DUE TO HELLISH CONDITIONS,VENUS IS LIKE HARDCORE NIGHTMARE CHALLENGE MODE WHEN MARS IS ABOUT MEDIUM DIFFICULTY….AND MOON IS EASY…..SO THESE MISSIONS WERE COOL AF,THOUGH
….SO,IT'D BE NICE TO SEE SOME VENUS ROVERS LIKE CURIOSITY……SOMEDAY…..
You should do a show on why your head is so big
When are we going back with a truckload of Archaea to terraform Venus. I do look forward to seeing it transform from its inhospitable state to the state of a green paradise from 2164.
Sort of like Arizona then.
well… communism (?)
Demon class planet
W⚓
A good place for floating cities
If the probe achieved anything during it's brief life, it's that we need to cut our own Co2 down or our planet lest it turns into another Venus. It should also quell any ambitions of ever colonizing the planet.
I respect USSR scientists for crazy stubbornness 🙂
The volume on this video sucks. Interesting subject but if I have to keep raising and lowering the volume I don't want to listen to it.
The fact that it made it and sent back literally anything means that literally nothing went wrong.
Man!
The history of trying to send probes to Venus is more complicated then I thought!
Earth and Venus may yet turn out to be twin worlds in the future.
I honestly didn’t realize that even as late as the 1960s, we didn’t know Venus was a hot, dead planet. I thought by then we knew the atmosphere was mostly carbon dioxide and literally thick enough to cut with a knife. And that the surface was like being inside a pizza oven. I guess we didn’t have the capability to accurately determine any of this from earth at the time.
I’d been asking for this nine for a while
If anything the Venera landers should be seen as a huge feat of engineering for their time. To see they lasted as long as they did on the surface of Venus says a lot about how well built they were. It would be cool to see a return to Venus to perhaps recover a surface sample, but that's a pretty big ask in the grand scheme of things. Still it'd be interesting to see what kind of brimstone is on the hellish surface of our nearest neighbor.
Its interesting that Mars is the exact opposite of Venus and Earth in the middle is the perfect position in relation to the Sun. All relatable by distance from the Sun.
What fascinates me is how much hair you have on your chin but nothing on your head. Explain that
Venus still remains the most viable planet for us to colonize, far easier than Mars. We would live in an environment where we would not need to wear a spacesuit just an atmospheric suit, there is plenty of oxygen, h2o, the temperature would be what we experience here on Earth, maybe even more temperate, atmospheric pressure would be good and gravity virtually the same.
One landed in Keksberg USA
It got a VENEREAL disease Hahahahah. SCHWING!!! ….sorry pls don’t block me.
Nothing went wrong. They knew the probe would be destroyed by atmospheric pressure and the corrosive environment. Stop being intellectually dishonest.
I’d love to have SW do voice acting in a video game where there has to be huge Info dumps.
What about the one that went of course and landed in the LA river where it threatened to sample Los Angeles to death? Only big foot challenged the six million dollar man more
14:30 How does a Brit mispronounce Halley’s Comet?
Y’all really believe they did all this with 1970’s level technology? 🤦♂️
The space religion and the people who believe in it are weird… this is all fiction.
Meanwhile NASA set up a Hollywood set to make fake news
The word origins of Venereal (disease) has its roots from Venereus, Venus.
All those spacecrafts from Earth failed on Venus because after each had landed,
They caught Venereal Disease!!
HAHAHAHAHAH!!!
I don’t understand how you can land, let alone deploy a parachute in 300 km/h winds at this atmospheric pressure. Even on earth this can lift entire trucks, houses…
Next time, MAKE THE VIDEO EVEN DARKER!!!
