why explore Mars but not Venus?

[iwearnosox]

I'd fund a probe to uranus, okois.

:gift:

I think you need to get a freakin' clue before you post stupid opinions like that...

We all know *that's* not going to happen, though.

I say we grab a crapload of coal, drop it in Venus and let it sit for 1-2 hours, then scoop back up and bring it back to Earth! We'd all be rich! The pressure on Venus will turn the coal in to diamonds instantly! Woohoo!!

 

[Pastfinder]

Damn, now that's a sweet idea. Suck on that de Beers!

 

Would someone plz go to where he lives and put him out of our misery?

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.

your post makes no sense.

If there were a way to pull venus into an orbit in Earth's path on the opposite side of the Sun, and condense much of that atmosphere, we might be able to terraform it. The trick is developing a technology/method of coaxing an entire planet...

Venus is much larger than Mars. It's almost as big as the Earth.

Venus is much more inhospitable than Mars. It's hot enough to melt lead. That and the sulphuric acid rain would do number to the paintjob on the spaceship.

Mars is where its at.

Venus is a giant pressure cooker. I'd rather go to Mars anyday.

Jupiter would be cool too.. LAN PARTY ON THE MOOONS

I was under the impression that Mars has candy bars. But of all the planets I would definetely stay away from Jupiter.

It doesn't to me. The Martian Year is 1.88 Earth years (equal to 687 Earth days).

Edit: I guess it is pretty close, just more days in a year.

I was confused too... but this is a quote from the link above...

A Venusian day is 243 Earth days and is longer than its year of 225 days.

Come back and post the results.

We should take up a collection and see if he can do it with his head. I'd pitch in $20.

Cause Living things would be crushed, burned alive, suffocated, and corroded to death..in no particular order.

Yeah...cuz girls go to college to get more knowledge and boys go to Jupiter to get more stupider!

Its period of rotation is longer than its period of revolution.
Makes perfect sense to me.

/me with /you. Also OIKOS, Venus is larger not smaller than Mars. Venus is closer in size to the Earth (Venus and Earth are considered sister planet's because of that).

Fine. Go live there. Don't worry about the Sulfuric Acid rain. It'll only hurt for a minute.

In fact, I say we get OIKOS a :gift: for a trip to Venus.

I was simply stating that because one Martian day is relatively equal to one Earth day, it would be easier for living things to adapt (since sunrises and sunsets would come at about the same frequency as on they do on Earth).

However, with Venus' day lasting 243 Earth days, it would be much more difficult. How quickly do you think living organisms from Earth would be able to get used to 120 (Earth) days in sunlight and then 120 days in darkness? The thing about Venusian years being shorter than its days was just a bit of trivia I found interesting.
