maandag 6 september 2021 What's happening? What's a Rickle?

It's Labor Day. My mind will not take a day off. Like Carl Sagan, my ship of the imagination escapes the confines of Earth to visit Venus. Friends mock me about the idea of exploring Venus, but this planet has a lot of potential... even for life. Thiobacillus ferrooxidans! The short film Cloud Cities of Venus lifts you off that hellish surface and into a possible future. About 30 miles (48 kilometers) up, the temperature has dropped to that of a warm spring day at sea level on Earth. Fill an immense balloon with ordinary breathable air, and you could easily live in the Venus sky.

For laughs, watch MST3K: First Spaceship on Venus.
