why explore Mars but not Venus?

i think venus is better.... it is smaller and not as cold as Mars.....personally, i think venus is more likely to hab living things..... what do u think? 😕

:gift:

**EDIT** ok guys.... i think i get the point now..... 🙁
 
Venis would be nearly impossible due to the atmosphere. It can be done, but not for any appreciable amount of time.
 
1) Toxic clouds = very thick
2) Hot as a bitch
3) You're more likely to make an understandable post than for it to have life
 
It's also much hotter - anything we put on it would literally explode, or dissolve in venus' acid rain.
 
sulfuric acid clouds
up to 600C temperature (hottest in the solar system)

Edit
Also, one Martian day in very close to one Earth day, about 24 and a half hours if I remember correctly. But, one Venus day is 243 Earth Days. Interestingly enough, it takes only 225 Earth days for Venus to orbit the sun. So, if we were on Venus, we would be celebrating new years more than once between sun rises...that would be weird.
 
sulpuric acid clouds and a surface temp of about 450 degrees centigrade are two good reasons!
Venus is better if you're a ball of fire though 🙂
 
Venus has surface temps of almost 800 degrees. Venus also has a very thick and heavy atmosphere. This creates a lot of pressure (about 100 times sea level pressure on Earth). A human-being would need a heavy protection, just as humans going to great pressures under the sea need a submarine. Venus also has corrosive clouds of sulfuric acid

 
Venus probes tend not to last very long before they burn up. Russia dropped a few of them (the Venera missions) on Venus, and none of them lasted longer than a day. They got a few pictures, though.

I think you need to get a freakin' clue before you post stupid opinions like that... 😕
 
No no, I don't mean to bash Oikos, if that is what my post implied. Personally I think it would be bad assed if the US could make a lander that actually worked for more than an hour or two on Venus. Then we could crush the Soviets at yet another thing 😉
