There’s no disputing that Venus is a mysterious hellscape with scorching temperatures, crushing pressures, and a poisonous atmosphere, but it wasn’t always like that. Some theories even suggest Venus was once habitable. So to finally get answers, NASA is developing two missions to explore Earth’s evil twin. In this series, we’re going to see why Venus didn’t end up like Earth, why sci-fi once imagined the planet was a paradise, and explain a controversial study suggesting life could exist in the clouds.Listen to our new podcast That's Absurd Please Elaborate where Julian Huguet and Trace Dominguez answer your strangest, wackiest, most ridiculous questions with as much science research as they can muster.Find it wherever you get your podcasts or click here to listen now! https://link.thatsabsurdshow.com/from-seekerplusSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
