@@PhinneusPrune that wasn't from the Soviet union, that was from Germany when the UN and Israel were formed at the end of the war. They moved most of the people they deemed assets to other countries and covered up their involvement in the death camps. Some of them definitely ended up in the Soviet union but most went to Argentina and the US. Many of our nations issues today are the direct result of some of these people getting into governmental roles. It's a very weird situation if you ask me.

the credit should go to the scientists and engineers who managed to pull this off despite living in the soviet union

It’s Engineers who made them. Scientist are mostly interested in collecting data and studying it, they don’t really care about building probes. They’ll specify exactly what they want to achieve, and Engineers will build and manufacture it. Science and Engineering are close siblings, from the same parents, but slightly different. One comes before the other.

@@MosesMatsepane engineers aspire to become scientists.

@@Adgjmptw343 Not always, Engineering is an Applied Science discipline. So most of us really like to design and engineer cutting edge technology. Whereas Scientists tend to work on problems that are way out there in the distant future, and often not practical at all. The two fields are more complementary to each other, with Engineering being a little brother of Science. I don't want to be a Scientist at all. That will bore me to death.

Now say usa or Soviet?. Meanwhile usa use low quality camera to capture moon landing

These landers, which were launched in the 1970s and 1980s, scanned the surface back and forth to create panoramic images of their surroundings. The images they captured revealed a stark and desolate landscape, with a reddish-orange hue and a surface covered in rocks and boulders. In addition to the panoramic images, the Venera landers also captured close-up images of the surface, showing individual rocks and other features in more detail. Some of these features included what appeared to be wind-swept plains and regions of rough, jagged terrain. The images also revealed the yellow skies of Venus, which are a result of the thick layer of clouds that blankets the planet. The clouds are primarily composed of sulfuric acid, and they obscure the surface from view in visible light. However, the Venera landers were equipped with instruments that allowed them to see through the clouds and capture images of the surface. Overall, the images captured by the Venera landers provided valuable insights into the geology and surface features of Venus, and continue to be studied by scientists today. They are a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the scientists and engineers who designed and launched these missions, and to the incredible technological achievements of the Soviet space program.

$hit, no-one else has been to Venus since

Yes, the study of other planets in our solar system, such as Venus, can provide important insights into the unique characteristics and conditions that make Earth habitable. By understanding how the planets formed and evolved, as well as the factors that influence their atmospheres and climates, we can gain a better appreciation for the fragility and complexity of our own planet. At the same time, studying other planets can also help us identify potential threats to Earth, such as asteroids or comets that could collide with our planet and cause catastrophic damage. By understanding the nature and behavior of these objects, we can develop strategies for protecting our planet and mitigating the risks of these types of events. Ultimately, the study of other planets and the exploration of space are important not only for expanding our scientific knowledge, but also for helping us appreciate the unique beauty and value of our own planet, and for inspiring us to work together to protect and preserve it for future generations.

Basically it's a hellscape. Real hothouse climate, poisonous atmosphere and immense pressure. That and the planet barely rotates at all. Its year is longer than its day. Its almost tidally locked. Unfortunately, there's little of practical value to us there, but it's still fascinating.

@@danielharvison7510 Yeah it's a definitely a vision of hell. I think that's why it fascinates me because it's almost like a polar opposite of our own planet.

It's not remotely like earth... no water, 600-800 degrees Sulphuric acid atmosphere, etc... The craft lasted 57 minutes before succumbing to the environment...

@@DarkstarAndrew01 Yeah it's almost like the opposite of earth in that it's a poisonous scorching wasteland. You are right. The size of venus and earth are similar though and the gravity. And apparently they formed around the same time. Venus is also the only other terrestrial planet with a proper atmosphere.

THOUSANDS OF DEATHS

Can’t wait for 2029 I’m a bit of a space nerd and im mostly interested in Venus so this will be exciting

These are incredible images. The only thing comparable right now is images from moon landings and the Mars landers. I didn't even know we had these.

@@princessedesforets - What does this mean?

They are amazing 🙋🏼‍♀️

landing gear is not the problem as all it takes is a relatively small air break. the problem is making the drone be able to withstand the temperature and pressure which would drive up the cost of making and sending the probe.

The lense cap, as you can see in the photos, is a large two-part metal shield... Looks a few inches thick. It is a huge chunk of metal that needs to be able to withstand bring hit by a planet sized blow torch through corrosive toxic air thick with little sandblasting particles, before landing in an oven.... And then the thing that survived that needs to pop neatly open and fall off. It's a shame, but honestly, it's a testament to society engineering that it worked at all. At that time, we didn't know all this about Venus.... It was mostly a mystery beneath the clouds. *THESE* are the the probes that answered the question. Looking at the surface... It's not likely the other side saw much.

I would imagine if we could get a look at any of the Venera craft today, they're probably about the size of a gallon paint can due to the pressure. That is if they haven't liquified into a pool of molten metal..

@BOB K i wouldn't say failing more like not attempting as you got to build the probe in a diving bell and launch it to Venus. aka a lot of money so you're probe can land on the surface for a couple minutes. also there is no point as a probe has already mapped most of Venuses surface from space.

@@TheUluxian Not molten metal. Most of the materials used didn't have a low melting point. Also, pressure doesn't work that way; most of the spacecraft was made of incompressible materials. What most likely happened was corrosion of the outer shell. Once that was breached, the pressure inside & outside the vessel would quickly equalize. The craft would just corrode away to nothing. Plastics would melt and boil away.

I think it was due to the immense heat that they failed, probably melted while descending from the atmosphere

@@braincell4536 Nah. The government just doesn't want you to see the Venusian giving Earth the finger, um, tentacle!

How stupid are they?? How come they didn't switch to a sliding panel???

@@Atheist7 isnt that worse? It would melt faster or even fail faster than pop out ones

@@braincell4536 Look, the cap didn't "pop off", right? So, why not have a metal panel that slides open instead. The ship itself didn't disintegrate right away, make it out of the same metal.

They did previously land on the moon remotely, and they drove a buggy on the moon remotely, and then took off again and brought samples back to earth, so they landed on the moon first technically, and brought samples back first, they just did it without humans.
