Description
Can we design rovers for temperatures that melt lead and fry electronics, pressures that crush nuclear submarines, even sulfuric acid clouds? How could a 70 BC Aegean shipwreck, kinetic sculptures roaming Dutch beaches or early clockwork computers contribute? Could a crowd-sourced competition help? It is easier to get to Venus than to Mars. Could humans live in temperate, high-altitude “cloud cities”? Earth and Venus are “twins” with similar size and mass. Could these hellish conditions represent our future? Explore these issues including planetary features, history of landers/probes, innovative solutions, even human exploration/habitation.
