I believe Venera 9 had an ultraviolet camera and Venera 13 had a color camera. Venera 13 definitely collected light in the visible spectrum. You are free to continue arguing with reality.



The first ever visible light spectrum images of Venus's surface are from 2020

It looks nothing like the mock ups from here. Little color if any. The sun is blanketing out anything resemble a human color

Until a visible light camera gets put on the ground you are free to believe

Looks like a picture from a Kremlin movie studio. The USSR didn't have the Tech to go to Venus 40 years ago.

What's crazy is that the gravity of Venus is 91% of earth as they're almost the same size and made of the same stuff (so a 200 lb man would weigh 182 lbs there), but...

Let’s have a thought experiment. I’ve landed a spaceship on Venus, and impatiently stepped out of the airlock on the cracked basalt. What happens to me?

In three words, splat, sizzle, choke. Instantly I’m crushed by a force equivalent to roughly 80 tonnes while being simultaneously cremated. My last (very quick) breath is of toxic gas. Life on Venus would be nasty, brutal and short.

That Venus is close enough to the sun that it is so overwhelming its hard to be able to see with human eyesight not evolved to see such intensity

It might almost be impossible to ever see what you would see with eyes

I read a book saying that women are from Venus, so here's what you get her: Thick layers of sulphuric acid, viscous surface rock, and coronets, which seem to be collapsed domes of a large magma chamber.

Venus could have been inhabited like Earth, before catastrophic climate change


So I’m confused. Is climate change man-made or not? If it’s man made, I’d love to know how man fricked up Venus’s climate never having stepped foot there.

Liberal logic is nonsensical in every way.

That is not true. Venera 13 took color panoramas in 1982.

You may be misreading the headline from the link you posted:

We need to send another lander to Venus. With better alloys we should be able to send something that would survive for longer than an hour.

I’d like to see a lander on Mercury, Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto, and another to Titan.

What will keep Earth from getting that hot if we continue to saturate our atmosphere with gaseous carbon pollutants?

Something tells me we need to send more observation craft to hover over the surface of Venus. It could have once been inhabited, and those people destroyed their environment.

There could be remnants of old coal-fired power plants and SUVs littering that planet. Who knows?
