“Fantastic moment. We are finally around Venus.”

“If our scientists are able to contribute to the explanation of the mysteries of planetary evolution, and the reasons for the great differences between Venus and Earth, I will feel my hopes were fulfilled.”

“We probably have enough fuel to do the extended mission, one year and a half, for 468 days.”

“Venus is extremely inhospitable for life, whereas Earth is a great place to live. If these planets were created about the same time, why would Earth take on such a different character?”
