NASA Could Put A “Floating City” In Venus’ Atmosphere (Video)
via WeatherNation TV by Alan Raymond
A program called “High Altitude Venus Operational Concept (HAVOC),” hopes to send a small floating flotilla to the high-altitude skies above the boiling-hot planet.
According to iflscience.com, the crafts would be situated about 31 miles above the surface of the planet and remain there for about 30 days.
“The mission requires less time to complete than a crewed Mars mission, and the environment at 50 km is relatively benign, with similar pressure, density, gravity, and radiation protection to the surface of Earth,” NASA said of the potential mission, in a press release.
This is not a new concept. This has been talked about for decades but now it seems its actually being given serious thought. How coolwould this be? Space exploration and colonization is one of my most fanciful interests. I would love to be alive to see the day this happens. I can only begin to imagine the wonders and adventures of such a thing. I hope this happens, what say you?
mooo… they push you off…. mooo
why?
