It wouldn’t be in a vacuum. Venus has an atmosphere.

Only Venus that gets me going is Val Venus

There's actually a sweet spot that humans could survive just fine. We could go outside with just an oxygen mask and only suffer mild skin irritation.

I wouldn't rule out subterranean microbes in Venus. I mean, it's 900° on the surface but a mile below the crust probably isn't any warmer than earth at that depth. Earth has lots of bacteria at that depth.

Hell.. I wouldn't rule out high altitude airborne life.

I've always thought that Venus would be immensely easier to explore with balloons. There are altitudes on Venus with air pressures and temperatures that would allow us to walk around in the open with a simple O2 mask. A floating city would have an infinite supply of energy from the heat below.

This is why when the government says UFOs are real you know it’s some shit from out of this world. We’re still over here making rockets, drones, and balloons not things that can change direction on a dime and zip through the sky the way the footage they said was legit does.

Amos, pouring coffee: “What the fuck is that?” Might be my favorite line in the show

I’ve been using a Precision laptop for work, which is their commercial XPS, basically the very best they have, and I’ve been pretty unhappy with it. Bad battery life, overheats like crazy, keyboard has bad keys, networking will randomly drop, etc.

Remind me of Jean Jacket from Jordan Peele’s Nope.

That'll be one of the shortest inter-planetary suicide missions

Hell if they keep this success up we might even one day put a man on the moon.

That "Tie it to a balloon" is still an effective exploration tool is joyfully funny to me. Imagining a little rover hanging from a cluster of 3 or 4 red balloons, with a little bow for the ropes knot, and a sign "Am safe, no worry". While it drifts across a thick sea of clouds.

I know this would be a high tech balloon in reality, but I want a pixar film about my imagination haha.

Question, what if I apply a sodium bicarbonate infused moisturizer on my skin?

I LUST FOR VOLCANO

You do realize the headset doesn't lock it's self to your face, you can take it off at any time

Yeah I think you’re mistaken. If they uploaded the rom then the game would be digitized. Then they wouldn’t own a non digitized game. Their game would be available for download therefore digitized therefore worth much less

Vacuum will burst it like any other Aerostat will…

Icaryus?

I’d like to explore Uranus. 🤪

Too slow. Use a rocket.

Wow, to think it could explore the whole planet in just one day! /s

It’s just a weather balloon
