Your data was a Venus Vega balloon probe.
[0:41:29 - 0:41:33] ▶
They dropped off these balloon probes into the Venus atmosphere and they gravity kicked on the way to Halley's Comet.
[0:41:34 - 0:41:41] ▶
It went to Halley's Comet by flyby of Venus.
[0:41:44 - 0:41:47] ▶
Gravitational assist flyby of Venus and went to Halley's Comet.
[0:41:48 - 0:41:51] ▶
So they gave them the data and it had what's called nephilometer and other data from deep inside the atmosphere of Venus.
[0:42:41 - 0:42:48] ▶
When was the first time we actually figured out the temperature or sent a probe into Venus?
[0:44:12 - 0:44:16] ▶
Isn't there theories out there that there could be life in the atmosphere of Venus?
[0:44:41 - 0:44:46] ▶
Yeah, there is now because of the chemicals that have been detected in the upper atmosphere of Venus.
[0:44:46 - 0:44:53] ▶
And that was the first moment that the Vulcan Venus scientist Carl Sagan knew who demodulated that data.
[0:46:24 - 0:46:32] ▶
And now, now you go from earth to Venus. Venus's atmosphere has a hundred times the air pressure on
[0:44:17 - 0:44:24] ▶
Ames when the Magellan probe was doing radar mapping of Venus. And we were perplexed because the
[0:44:32 - 0:44:38] ▶
raining on the mountaintops. So that's what Venus's atmosphere is like, right? And then you go to Mars
[0:45:25 - 0:45:30] ▶
So now, so now comparing Venus to Mars, the temperature difference is, is a factor of 10,000 different.
[0:45:41 - 0:45:52] ▶
