NASA HAPPENING:

>NASA mulls possible mission to Venus after recent discovery of possible life

>WASHINGTON (Reuters) - NASA is considering approving by next April up to two planetary science missions from four proposals under review, including one to Venus that scientists involved in the project said could help determine whether or not that planet harbors life.

>The U.S. space agency in February shortlisted four proposed missions that are now being reviewed by a NASA panel, two of which would involve robotic probes to Venus. One of those, called DAVINCI+, would send a probe into the Venusian atmosphere.

>“Davinci is the logical one to choose if you’re motivated in part by wanting to follow this up - because the way to follow this up is to actually go there and see what’s going on in the atmosphere,” David Grinspoon, an astrobiologist working on the DAVINCI+ proposal, told Reuters on Tuesday.

>In light of Monday’s findings, NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine said that is “time to prioritize Venus.”

I don't really see the point of sending people to Venus right now. What would be the point? The atmosphere is too thick to see through, it's really far away. You'd need a second ISS around Venus to support a small crew of scientists (not that I'm in any way opposed to it). If you want to inspire people, then you should send them around the Moon, which is what Elon already plans to do in 2023.

Of course Donny would pivot and distract the American people with these extraordinary claims of extraterrestrial life on venus right in the midst of an election season. John Kennedy did the same thing. Promised the moon and meanwhile invaded innocent countries and gutted the tax system which America has not recovered from. NASA should not be politicized. Its 2020, and the real issues are unemployment, COVID-19 pandemic, the dehumanization of immigrants and minorities (sterilizing every woman at the fucking border for one) and in every respect, the president has failed and has in reality set science back decades by cutting funding and lastly denies the biggest problem the world has ever faced, climate change. Scientific American endorsed Joe Biden. Do you know what they didn't endorse? This theory that there is life on venus. Wait folks and be skeptical of what you hear during election season.

I don't want them bringing any god-damn extra-terrestrial micro-organisms within the exosphere's altitude of earth. The early Apollo astronauts wore BSL suits and did a month of quarantine on the mere possibility of Moon contagion, until they were super-serial HIV-positive that it was devoid of life. Here we have a situation where we have good reason to belive that there may be life which can survive in a very hostile environment, and you propose to bring it to the Earth rather than study it remotely. That's a full nope from me. Even if we did seed it in the first place with Venera etc.

It depends. You're assuming that life on venus came from venus or that life on earth came from earth. More specifically, you're assuming that life on venus didn't come from earth or that life on earth didn't come from venus.
In a worst case scenario of finding life, we discover that not only is life on Venus DNA based, but that the polymerases it uses are genetically similar to our extremophiles. At that point, it starts to look REALLY fishy and would suggest that our planets infected each other.

The only thing it might really answer is if earth-life can survive on other planets, not if other planets can generate life of their own.

Should we do a manned Venus flyby as a "practice run" for a manned mars landing?

Venus is 4x closer to the Earth on average so it would be much easier to get to, though a manned Venus landing is obviously out of the question. If you ignore the ridiculous heat pressure and acid you remember the delta V requirements for a return trip to Earth are comparable to launching from Earth itself which already requires enormous rockets compared to the other planets.

Still though, you could merge some manned and unmanned missions together and have astronauts spend a week or so in orbit around Venus while the drop probes into the atmosphere and monitor their telemetry in essentially real-time (something you can't do all the way back on Earth).

People who believe those stories completely will still believed them completely. People who view them as parables with non-literal meanings will still believe the same.

It honestly doesn't. All we know is there could be a warm ocean underneath a fuckload of ice. We don't know enough about internal conditions to know if its survivable. And we don't even know if habitable means life will form easily. Also it's probably not as easy as flying over a blowhole and collecting the life on your probe for confirmation.

Meanwhile venus has a signature that's more likely to be a biosignature that anything else with our current understanding. There's an unknown substance absorbing UV. The layer of atmosphere is pretty cozy for extremophiles. The temperature and pressure is great, even for human standards.

If so, well that very interesting, but hardly worthwhile considering that there are millions of starving 3rd worlders who desperately need feeding and immigration so they can produce even more starving 3rd worlders. We should be concentrating on fixing this planets problems first. And the problem is white people. All efforts should be concentrated on replacing white people and filling every last space on this planet with human feces and plastic trash. Come on people, lets concentrate on the real issues!

Yes we could aerosolize the feces the same way nebulas are formed. At that density it would blot out the sun, cooling the atmosphere and the feces would condense evenly on the surface, wasting no material.

But the ocean life keeps stealing our plastic to commit suicide with it.

Yes, but I wouldn't worry about that too much. Once the world has been freed of white oppression the 3rd world tinpot dictators will use up all nuclear arsenals in border disputes over claims to malarial infested swamps and tracts of virtually sterile desert. Most of the nukes will end up in the oceans due to poor maintenance and incompetent targeting. Then what areas remain free of radioactive fallout can be buried under several meters of plastic waste.

There is no life there. The "life" was planted there by the elite when we crashed a probe into the planet.
They are using this to push the "alien" agenda.
Its all fake!

But its still neato.
the elite love Venus, because its their bright and morning star. Its all about astrology, which THEY use to control the world.

Sweet, it'll be interesting to see how it all pans out but it's going to be hard. Wasn't the last probe we sent barely able to take photos before quickly getting destroyed? Sending something down to recover samples and bringing them back is going to be extremely difficult to say the least.

Most religions accept that God could have created life on other planets, including Roman Catholicism and Islam. Mormons have it as part of their teachings. Discovery of alien life would only bother protestants.

I don't even believe that. I've never heard of earth and its life being unique in the canon. I guess you could say aliens would make earth less special, but that wouldn't really start to hit until intelligent life was contacted. And evolution did far more damage to the idea that man is special and religion chugs on.

Mars won't be the future of humanity either. It's a good first step to establish a permanent colony there, but the conditions of the planet make it next to impossible for humans to thrive.
The only way mankind will take its next step is by inventing a propulsion system capable of traveling light years in a relatively short amount of time and finding planets that have similar characteristics to Earth.

Or just inventing a cryostat device. Even if it took a few hundred years, what would it matter (unless in that time humanity makes a spacecraft that outpases this one). Using fusion, or even fission if we are stubborn enough, we could get to the stars in our neighborhood in a not unreasonable amount of time. Also, I think it will be much simpler to make a cryostat device than it would be to invent propulsion systems that would allow the effects of relativity to kick in in a substantial way.

And the first probes will return inconclusive data. They always do. Roughly a probe every ten years for the next 60 years before they will have a definite and confirmed answer. By which time you will be likely dead or too old to give a fuck any more.

Would be so cool if those UV-absorbing microscopic particles on Venus' atmosphere turned out to be the microbes producing phosphine. That would mean it's possible to SEE aliens from Earth.
