"Venera 13 carried a microphone. So we can listen to the sounds of Venus..."
Me: 👂
"Venera 14..."
The only quirk in this very informative video. Of course the sound recording is up on RUclips elsewhere.
Coverup. It heard the Protomolecule.
It picked up a trace of the Astronomicon... @@trninfan
@@NuntiusLegis Not so, just a recording of Venera 14 is out there, Venera 13 is nowhere to be found. Your point still stands.
@@trninfan It is building the Ring :P
They probably just told us its too hot, meanwhile they have a whole planet to themselves
Like the secret bathroom on 'Park And Recreation'.
Forreal 😂😂😂
lol yeah i was thinking the same
"Too hot? Comrade, have you been to Siberia during winter?"
lol
You didn't show the best image from the Venera-14 mission, it's a color image that actually shows the Venusian horizon, it's honestly an incredible sight, even though it's extremely flat and barren, the fact that it's the only clear image taken on Venus is incredible in and of itself. I'd highly recommend anyone that hasn't seen it to look it up, as it's likely the best we're going to get for a very long time.
Fantastic video otherwise though, I've been fascinated by the various missions to Venus for a long time now and you summarized it very well.
wasn't that a rendering
One of the greatest Space projects ever. Venus is amazing, and so was the Soviet passion for space exploration.
Jag önskar att vårt land var detsamma.
It was driven by politics....way more than the west's space endeavors. Don't romanticize it.
Commie
@@mylan4742 Yes, based
@@mylan4742 Typical american. No wonder why the whole world laughs at you.
The Soviet Venera probes were amazing.
Venerial probes?
I see what you did there. And yes, technically, anything pertaining to Venus and Fridays receives the "venereal" adjective, if we're to apply Classical Latin nomenclature
@@hamster2845 yes considering the time frame. The luner probes were actually pretty good too but the Venus series were something else.
@@hamster2845 They went to Uranus.
@@JosePineda-cy6om so I used to work on Mars, and the imaginary mean seal level is called "The Aeroid" (from MOLA), while here on Earth we call it "The Geoid" (see: EGM96). For this vid, I suppose it's the Veneroid (which sounds burning hot and itchy..) pretty sure Magellan nabbed it.
It is not obsession but perseverance.
Yes, and the engineering science steadily IMPROVED over the daunting course of their campaign.
its fraud no one has ever been to space
It's propaganda. The moon landings were faked 100%.
How about it is obsession with perseverance?
When you’re treating your citizens like that and focus your budget on this, it’s an obsession - for the morons replying to me, I’m talking about the Soviet Union, not the US, because that’s what the video is about.
"Apple updates ALONE would make that impossible..."
Truer words have never been spoken.
Yeahp.. but no only Apple them @RILEYLEIFSON_UTAH2 .. Microsoft .. Google .. they are all constantly beta testing their garbage in our devices.. only to patch it up latter with more beta testing trash... ... and of course always forcing you into thing.. even if the new "features" are no good for you and screw up your workings flow.. you have no choice.. ... look Win11 with the encryption bullshit.. you are a gamer.. you have a gaming rig.. is for games.. you don't need encryption anything... and they are going to force you in it anyway... wasting your CPU power.. wasting your Memory.. wasting your HDD space... and making you believe that you need a better new PC...
Apple moment
I actually though it was several layers of stupid.
First level of stupid: if Apple were to build an iPhone "to be sent to space", they'd build it differently than "to be quickly replaced by stupid American consumers".
Second level of stupid: if you actually still are dumb enough to send a regular iPhone into space... why would go as far as send it updates?
And so on... Yeah, I get it's a joke. It's a multi-layers stupidly joke. It's never, at any moment, either "true" or funny (although this is relative. e.g. Calling Americans stupid is funny to me).
@@siz1700 i prefer my iOrange
The og Nokia can do it
When i was working as a mechanic, one of my customers was an engineer who had done lots of development on the computers they put in cars. Its a very tough environment for a computer, extremes of hot and cold, corrosive chemicals, vibration etc. So they use carbide chips if my memory is working, instead of silicon chips, like in your desktop. They are much tougher than silicon chips, and deal with extreme heat better, which is key for being able to "pot" them in a lump of epoxy resin, to keep bad chemicals and vibrations away. Its really hard to seal up a computer with a big cooling fan vent. The russians had to use carbide chips for their venus probes, and i remember our customer, the engineer, was blown away by how short the lifespan was for a computer on venus, minutes or hours. Cant remember. This is with cutting edge version and big old budget version of car computer technology that lasts decades in a car.
Nothing even remotely enough to deal with a hellscape like Venus ... not even close.
Not knocking you bro, there are indeed extremes inside a car, I used to worry about my tapes iin the deck!
For the engine computer, I was kinda disappointed the other day, I just pulled a 2012 Jetta engine computer, actually probably just the BCM, still kinda critical, located a little left and under the steering wheel... did so because it wouldn't start, and headlights and tail lights were on and wouldn't turn off... this was after a heavy rain, and after disconnecting the 3 big connectors, and some wiggle, the computer module was removed... dripping water! I so hoped that the board was conformal coated, but popping open the case revealed a rather plain 2 sided mainboard with regular silicon chips, no conformal coat, no gaskets on the case, or the 3 connectors.
From the look of that board, it'd had dust and water incursion more than once, but now there were some corroded traces.
After a cleanup and dry out, I was stoked that the car was mostly back to normal.
@@k0nanickclassic Volkswagen "quality" there.
@@k0nanick I've taken apart a few ECUs and modules and all of them were like that. For their price you'd expect something revolutionary, but really they look like they were pulled from an old stereo or something.
@@dk-bw4gk I think a lot of the price is simply because it's a "rare" part, they probably don't cost much to make, but it's the software inside and the significance of that part that inflates the price, an ECU for a honda fit is over 1k, it's probably only a $300 part to make but they aren't making them in the same quantity that they're making ball joints or tie rods.
You have to hand it to the soviet scientists, they didn't give up even when the Intel they had meant that their probe would melt under the brutal conditions of Venus.
They didn't give up after like 20 probes blew up before even leaving earth.
Cheap shot and one that stinks of sour grapes; particularly as the US hasn't manged to put a man back on the moon for over 50 years now and shows no real prospect of managing to do so any time soon.
The point is that the Russians went for it and learned from each mistake and improved their design in one of the most testing and hostile environments that I can imagine.
The reason for this is that the moment has passed. There’s no pissing match about who can reach the moon first with heavy undertones of demonstrating ICBM tech; there is no scientific reason to land a man on the moon, you can do a hundred robotic missions for the same cost. In the 60’s it had to be manned; you could hardly do anything with a rover let alone land the thing safely.
The only thing that’s left is 1960’s nostalgia and ”it’s kind of cool’. That’s why it restarts and stops before achieving anything over and over. A politician decides to play on 1960’s nostalgia and thinks of the moon landing as this great unifying moment. NASA gets to halfheartedly play with some tech and in the end everyone knows it is stupid and expensive.
Manned missions to the moon are just stupid and it just gets more stupid over time.
@@Eris123451 It appears that you haven't heard of the *Artemis* program. NASA isn't just going back, they plan to camp there! ROFLMAO!
*Pam* Tom's wife
Oh I've heard of it alright but only If you believe the adverting ?
There 's great bit in, "Closing Time, " Josef Heller's brilliant sequel to Catch Twenty Two where Yossarian is making a living good drawing pictures of imaginary fighter planes for congress committees to fund.
The actual planes themselves don't exist and are never going to but the companies contracting for them are making billions anyway, the American manned space program seems to me to be much same sort of thing.
I'm increasingly skeptical about whether an America now in decline still has will, competence and expertise to put men back on the moon anyway ?
We shall see ?
I love how the Soviets didn't give up easily.
... until they do
Their resolve outmatches the entire west, including the US. Their society doesn't bow to DEI and color revolutions. They are tough as nails too.
Soviet economy wasnt about efficiency but more about achieving results that last. Money wasnt a driving factor of society and thats why it fail.
@@vinportobg kind of? they weren't interested in efficiency that would lead to a reduction in the required workforce, which would affect their employment and development model, most of their improvements came to improvements in the materials themselves. different tech tree to the Americans, because of the resources at hand, and you have to remember that in less than one lifetime the majority of the people went from near middle ages to superpower levels of development.
@@vinportobg Money was a driving factor of society, of course. It wouldn't buy you a good life in the S.U., but it would still be easier. That's why the smartest people avoided engineering like a plague and stuck into either trades, military or pure science where the salary was good. This, and inability to prop the oil price further up eventually made the soviet economy unable to compete.
I was expecting a sound bite of the sound of Venus from the venera probe from this video... never came very disappointed
It probably sounded like ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░
I like how they use wave tactics but with probes. It’s charming imo. And I’m glad they did it
Sending 2 probes at a time is not "wave tactics". 🤣
It's not uncommon for households in the former Soviet Union or Eastern Bloc to still have working machines or household appliances from the Soviet era that are in working condition. In Eastern Europe, we have the saying, “built like a Soviet tank” to refer to these almost indestructible pieces of engineering.
Hopefully not a T-72
Hey now, there’s a special place for tanks that that transform into frisbees.
Ah yes, weapons. The only things that communism produced that actually work and leftists hate them.
The T-80 was a marvel for its time, one of the best tanks of all time in my opinion
"It's not uncommon for households in the former Soviet Union or Eastern Bloc to still have working machines or household appliances from the Soviet era that are in working condition."
The same is true in the US in Europe. Now appliances in the US and Europe are made in China.
Столько слов про политику ,но ни слова про институт и коллектив, ведущий тогда программу освоения венеры. Разработкой занималось ОКБ им. С.А. Лавочкина, которое в то время возглавлял Георгий Николаевич Бабакин.Само предприятие, научный задел и сами аппараты сохранились, можно продолжить их исследования. Но их не запустят пока не дооснастят приборами для получения новых данных, а не повторения старых.
При этой власти их вряд ли запустят, разве что с таким же успехом что и Луна-25
My brother from the other good side, don't expect these people who are taught a lot of nonsense and BS about the USSR by their gov or controlled media to know about the institute or the team leading the program for the exploration of Venus. Thank you for the info. 👏🤙🤝
This is about WHY the soviets went to Venus, not "How"
@@hammerr потому что для любой великой топовой державы,какой СССР и являлся, состоявшей во всяческих международных организациях по исследованию окружающей среды было бы весьма стыдно не возглавить один из актуальных проектов на повестке, а взявшись не выполнить. И всё с целью доказать своё первенство и прогрессивность. У СССР был опыт постройки глубоководных аппаратов, способных выдержать давление в 30 и более атмосфер, так почему не построить на его основе исследовательский аппарат и под это провести исследование военных технологий с освоением военных бюджетов. Все так в мире делают,но мало кто даёт ощутимый практический результат.
Great info
The early Venera probes may have been dead on arrival but just arriving alone is a remarkable achievement. Like the Indian moon shot, definitely not a failure.
The 2nd Indian one succeded in the stated mission.
The U.S. decided it was not possible to keep a lander cool enough to work on venus. The Russian lander got around this with a very simple system. They had radiator devices that were filled with excess rocket fuel. The devices were deployed enroute to super cool the fuel from the coldness of space. The fuel was pumped through the lander to cool it upon landing.
And it still only barely lasted (with respect)
I think Venera 13 and 14 go down as two of the greatest space missions, still.
That's like saying a band with a single hit tune is the best of all time. Incredible success, of course, but of very limited duration and impact. The Soviets don't get their due credit, but "greatest"? No.
@@DavidWilliams-ig5ec I stand by my statement.
@DavidWilliams-ig5ec your analogy is really really bad. Landing on Venus is ultra hard core. If you want to stick to your band analogies, landing on Venus using the technology of that time is as if a band who only uses broken instruments that can only play a few notes, played by musicians who're missing a few fingers, manages to compose a hit even though their composer's deaf and their main singer cannot sing more than an octave - and somehow they still managed to get two hit songs. I've yet to see SpaceX or NASA send successfully a lander to a place where temperatures melt lead, with sulfuric acid rains and 1km deep pressures. Oh, and using only tech from 40 years ago, please. THAT'S HARDCORE. The probes didn't last more than 1 hour each? Well duh, of course.
@@JosePineda-cy6om "I've yet to see SpaceX or NASA send successfully a lander to a place where temperatures melt lead, with sulfuric acid rains and 1km deep pressures." Yes, you're right, because they know it's a pointless folly. Sorry the CCCP overlords didn't get the message based on their repeated failures. But I guess that kind of delusional thinking is why their country also ceased to exist.
@@JosePineda-cy6omLanding on Venus is the fairly 'easy' part, getting stuff to work there is the real challenge. Its kind of opposite of Mars in that way
I lived on Venera street in Fort Worth for a couple of years. 3708 Venera street. I planted that tree. She’s a beauty.
It is a nice tree!
Did your mother meet lee harvey?
What species of tree?
3708 upside down on a calculator spell BOLE; (_noun_) the trunk of a tree.
It was meant to be.
That is a live oak from a local Fort Worth tree/plant retailer
Still blows my mind that they successfully landed a space probe on the least hospitable place in the inner solar system; and with 1970s tech. I love those photos of what looks like a yellow tinted Earth-like rocky landscape.
I mean in fairness, they should be. It's often ignored due to how hostile the surface and environment are but Venus is one of the more fascinating planets in the solar system.
14:47 This is actually incorrect. Venera 14 was not the last probe to land on Venus, Vega 1 and Vega 2 missions both had not only balloon probes but landers as well. These balloons and landers were deployed during a flyby of Venus before the main spacecrafts departed for the Halley's comet. Both landers looked similar to the last Venera probes, they were successful and landed on Venus on June 11th and 15th 1985 respectively, more than three years after Venera 14.
he did mention the balloons but "didn't want to get into it" 😆
Not what he said.
What he did say is that it's "a whole other story", hopefully for another time.
@@Oceansta He mentioned the Balloons but not the landers.
@@mrfrozen2705 It seems you didn't pay enough attention. In 14:45 he clearly says Venera 14 was the last time man made objects reached the surface of Venus and the he mentions "a whole other story" to be about "some cool stuff with balloons" after Venera 14.
there was also the day probe of NASA Pioneer Venus 2. Though it was not designed to land, it survived landing and transmitted. data.
I'm still in team venus cloud city before mars colony.
Pros:
1. It's a fucking cloud city
2. It's warm
3. No Toxic dust
Con:
1. Acid clouds
2. you can fall down
3. A bit windy
Mars is a bitch to land in, but at least there's solid ground. However the ultra fine toxic dust and radiation doesn't help.
Venus meanwhile would literally require said cloud city to be delivered there and for obvious reasons would not allow for direct ground sample extraction and exploration by astronauts
It didn't stop Lando Carlrissian... Actually it's not quite the same. Bespin is a gas giant, more like Jupiter than Venus. And the city floated in a breathable layer.
Pressure comparable to being 1km deep in an ocean. It's hot enough to melt lead in seconds. It actually rains acid. Slight issues.
@@Nerdiness1985 On the surface yes, but at a certain altitude the pressure is about the same as earth's surface and the temperature falls to about 35 C, an average day in a hot place on earth. There's also plenty of radiation protection from the atmosphere above. We still can't breathe the atmosphere, but with just an oxygen supply and mask we could walk freely outside in our floating habitat. The acid rain would be a hazard. We'd need to make the habitat of anti-corrosion material and wear protective clothing outdoors, or even just carry a acid resistant umbrella. If the habitat sprang a leak we would not have to worry about explosive decompression and everybody suddenly dying, like you would on Mars or the moon. Repairing it would be a non-urgent job, like fixing a leaking roof on earth. We would also have to be very careful that our habitat, that is essentially a large aircraft, maintains its altitude because if it flew too low its inhabitants would burn up or get crushed.
@benthejrporter My vote is for Buckminster Fuller's Cloud Nine floating tensegrity sphere. Just needs to be a couple miles wide. Maybe add a mixture of Helium and Hydrogen ballonettes for buoyancy and fuel storage. Solar photovoltaic on the surface to power systems, and electrolysis of atmospheric water vapor to Oxygen and Hydrogen. The whole sphere would collect resources from the atmosphere, and process them for humans to use when they arrive. Carbon dioxide can produce raw carbon for a variety of purposes, including graphene for the production of more spheres.
Other probes actually have landed on the surface of Venus since Venera. Each of those balloon missions, Vega 1 and Vega 2, were also packaged alongside a flyby probe that would go on to visit Halley's Comet and a lander. Vega 1's lander instruments activated early, but both landers survived their descents. The Pioneer Venus Multiprobe also unintentionally landed an atmospheric probe, the Day probe, on the surface of Venus; this remains NASA's only successful landing on Venus.
Wow, I had no idea about any of these trips to Venus. Love the pictures! Got to give those Soviet engineers high marks. Thanks! 🚀
I like the idea that a group of Soviet engineers simply got obsessed with Venus and their political superiors just let them have at it. Like the "I just wanted to see what happens" meme! Also, if you are taking suggestions, I find the idea of a clockwork probe instead of an electronic one really fascinating and you seem like just the guy to do a video on it. Here's to hoping! Cheers!
They probably had some indication (rightly or wrongly) of a valuable substance on Venus that made it worth researching further.
@@kingofcrunk4237 Source: you just made it up out of thin air
The trippiest thing about the density of the atmosphere is that it increases gradually. If you were to descend towards the surface of Venus, you'd transition from flying through air to swimming through water without even noticing it.
What water?
Um, that's how the pressure of any atmosphere or liquid works. Nothing "Trippy"
@@neth77 even if you explain the sun to me you do not know how it got there or how it works.
requiring an answer makes you autistic.
being unable to see the magic in the world.
and trying to box everything in.
this thinking is evil.
hope you find happiness =)
namaste.
@@neth77 Yeah, I thought the video took an odd angle on that one. Layered atmospheric gases and eventually solids or liquids in increasing density is exactly how every gravity well works. That's not mind blowing, it's really basic physical science.
@@neth77 In my opinion a gradual spatial transition like that is trippy.
This video was well documented appreciate the hard work
Our technology today isn't built to last because we live in (the illusion of) abundance of ressources. There's big money in selling things to people that break all the times like iPhones, that's why you couldn't sent one to space. And then selling them a new one two years later.
The shortage of materials like it occured in the eastern side of the iron curtain produced an amazing spirit of craftmanship, so many people learnt to build something from almost nothing and building things to last because you couldn't just order something new and have it delivered a week later, you often had to wait for years for replacement parts of machinery and things like that. That's how this philosophy of sturdy building emerged.
I was born in the GDR, haven't personally experienced much of it but the aftermath and the spirit of the people that influenced me still rings through till today. Now I'm an engineer and I am amazed of what my parents and grandparents generation used to accomplish with the little means they had in all branches of life. I try to keep that spirit alive and I believe this is what the whole world needs to be doing but even better with the modern means of production we have today: build all sorts of things that are tough, modular, as easily repairable as possible and recycleable.
Not the cheap throwaway junk we have today in consumer electronics, tools etc.
I'm not even gonna read all that shit because you lost all credibility saying we don't live in an age of abundance
@@tjls123 then read again what exactly I wrote, the last words matter: abundance of RESSOURCES.
Not of products. We act like we had unlimited ressources and pump out as cheaply as possible made stuff that breaks all the time. That's what I said.
Read the rest and learn something about a time gone by or don't, I don't care, that's your decision. But maybe don't judge so loudly if something you don't even bother reading is "shit" that doesn't interest you... obviously it did enough to write a comment about it. ;-P
LOL this dude has never heard of Capitalism.
Accumulation of CAPITAL, its in the word mate, you may want to study basic economics 101.
Wasn’t just the gdr, every country before our modern and wasteful society had this, things could hold forever.
@@tjls123ehm you need to get reading skills,
He said we don’t live in abundance to resources, which is correct, we use more earths then their is, the resources are not infinite and our wasteful society burns trough it fast.
Abundance of things as you probably misread it, is not the same as resources.
You forgot to mention the lens cap issue. When the lens cap dropped to the ground it only rolled a foot away from the probe. When the robotic arm extended it landed on top of the lens cap. So the only readings they could collected was from something they brought from earth.
Ok,this is quite funny
I am sure there was some good tragic comedy about that. Russian engineers never give up, never surrender.
dayyyyum
@@markharmon4963Galaxy Quest humor. Nice.
these clowns never went to space. the freemasons went in the deserts and underground to film this bullshit propaganda you believe in.

Most people seem to ignore the fact that one day on Venus is longer than a year. That's the biggest and most crucial difference with mother Earth. We will never have such an extreme case of runaway greenhouse effect here.
In a billion years or so as our sun gets hotter, it will happen here as well. Just a lot worse.
oil capitalist: "hold my champagne"
There's no such thing as a greenhouse effect. Temps correlate with pressure, as the video explains.
@@dk-bw4gkAll matter cools at the same rate, famously.
@@christopherbrice5473 This isn't true at all. Water has a higher specific heat than most other liquids, therefore requires more energy for a temperature change. If this was true we could use anything as heatsinks.

You should probably change the name from the space race to the space crawl. Since we are about 40 plus years behind schedule at this point.
because of mismanagement, micromanagement, politics, and corruption.
The Politburo and Congress between them, over the 1980s, were barely distinguishable.

Yes. Kind of like "the greatest generation" having thrived 70-80 ago... And just look at us NOW!
Capitalism destroyed space exploration. If there's no short-term profit, it won't get done.
The only goals now are for spy satellites, trash kulture TV to any part of the world, and eventually we'll have advertising in space via reflective particle fields that will reflect ground-based color lasers painting a pic on them.
Got to the moon, gloated a bit, then called it a day. It's such a shame, man.
Super video! Thank you very much. The only thing that could have been said is that Venus, unlike Mars, is about the same size as the Earth and the orbit of Venus is easier to reach than that of Mars.
The SF novel "Planet of Death" by the famous Stanislaw Lem from 1951 had a great influence in the Soviet Union. In it, cosmonauts (as astronauts are called there) discover the remains of a civilization that had wiped itself out with nuclear weapons. The film adaptation called "The Silent Star" 1960 was very popular. And so elaborately made that film material was bought by Hollywood producers, who even used it for two cinema films. In any case, there was the idea that Venus, which is in many ways more Earth-like than Mars, was much more likely to have life like our planet. Unfortunately, the Wikipedia article about the massive change in the view of Venus due to the Soviet Venus missions has disappeared. It clearly showed how much people believed in life there before and no longer afterwards. Now there is a Venus in fiction, but unfortunately the many SF novels in the Eastern Bloc (USSR and the socialist countrys around) hardly feature in it.
I noticed the whole thing because I've always been a Venus fan and an SF reader. And there was a discussion a while ago when an old climate scientist said that we are in danger of becoming like Venus. Only to say that, we'd have to know a lot more about Venus and what we know doesn't scientifically allow such a statement. Incidentally, Fraiser Cain from Universe today interviewed one of the leading Venus researchers a year ago. The video is called: "I'm obsessed with Venus now". Super Interview!
The balloons of the Soviets in the Venus atmosphere are a super cool topic. It would certainly be a great topic for a video. They were the first flying machines on another planet. Long before the super helicopter drone flew on Mars. Space race, you know ?😊
Thanks for your great videos. I always enjoy watching them! 😊
There is too much to read here 📚
That novel sounds interesting, thanks for the tip. Ever read "Childhood's End" by Arthur C. Clarke?
Some statement
You could try to find that wiki page in wayback machine.
The Silent Star is an East German-Polish film. It was changed to First Spaceship on Venus dubbed in English. It may be available on YT
This is fascinating! Thank you for this
Excellent vid…❤ I really enjoyed your delivery style and you made it super interesting in every way ..👍👍👍
"Revealed" might be a little overstated, seeing this has hardly ever been a secret
Its a very good video on the topic nonetheless. He's definitely "revealing" it to some people that weren't aware. Why nitpick the title... Just enjoy. Or not 😊
You might ought to look that word up.
Unless you're claiming that literally everyone knows.....
Yeah I thought the video was going to offer some kinda insight as to WHY they were "obsessed" with Venus.
They just sent a bunch of probes, seems like pretty balanced behaviour for a space agency 🤷♀️. How many missions did USA send to the moon? _OmG oBsESsEd!!_ nah.
This is just how you do space.

@@JumboDubby "obsession" is a negative term, not positive
Excellent video, one of your best IMO.
Our planet is literally a paradise that's immeasurable in how rare and important it is to all of us. Recycle people. Take care of our wonderful planet.

Similar to the German scientists, during the WW2.

The designs are absolutely marvelous
This guy is good..👍 The VENERA probe is the pinnacle of the USSR space program, period..
VENERA sounds like some kind of STD xD
Not landing luna 3 on the moon?
Shame he couldn't spell Venera
The mir
@@user-sj2hi5fn4m Yes. the Luna vehicles in my view are the pinnacle of 20th century space race.
What a fantastic story, well told.
blows my mind how empty your brains are...
Good Job… Great documentary 👍🏼
Back in the 70s the writers for the show The Six Million Dollar Man needed a major challenge for their superhuman cyborg hero, so they settled on a Russian Venus probe that accidentally crashed on Earth and was just trying to carry out it's primitive exploration program. That's both a slam on their ability to get probes to other planets and a tribute to the durability of the probes.
Soviet innovation is so inspiring!
Especially considering the messed up system they are in.
The Venera programme is that one case where your comment is nonironic.
@@Awesomes007 Ironic you say that, because overthrowing a monarchy, eliminating economic social classes and creating one of the best welfare and pension systems in history isn't innovation to you? Stalinism, gulags and Ukrainian famine aside, the beginning and the latter half of the USSR wasn't as messed up as you think it was.
Excellent!
I have known about the truly amazing Soviet 'Venera' program for many years but not in such detail. I had no idea they just 'lobbed' the later ones into the 'thick' atmosphere with a few bits 'sticking out' to slow them down.
Thanks a lot.
Wow, I just saw my hometown central plaza, in a very precise drawing in the first moments of the video. Haven’t been there in about a decade. How cool!
Great video. Excellent story telling style. ❤
There has never been a photograph from Venus on "film", all digital.
_"NNNNEEERRRDD!!"_ - Homer Simpson
Absolutely right. But how were they able to not only take digital pictures but also transmit them back to earth that to in the 60s! It's just mind-boggling.
@@Oceansta Late 70s to early 80s, but you're right its impressive
Photography means "Writing with light"
So any picture of anything other than text isn't a photograph.
@@065Tim you didn't understand the OP. The difference is between saying "film" and "digital". No one is disputing the photograph part of is.
Thank you for providing F & C temps, plz keep giving both metric and imperial measurements, thx.
No, get rid of outdated horrible imperial and stick to universal scientific metrics.
@SMGJohn lol "outdated". 😆. The biggest world power uses it bud, it ain't outdated till we say so.
@@FactBits361
"World power" that cannot even get a grip on its little puppet Israhell or stop half a million people from dying of poverty within its own borders, how hilarious is that?
@@FactBits361The "biggest world power" -- whose population only comprises about four percent of the total world population. 😝
Watched a video a few weeks ago about building inhabited airships for the upper atmosphere of Venus. Warmer temperatures, an actual atmosphere, and less radiation than would be on Mars. Pretty interesting video.
Great video. Thank you
Making mistakes in an aggressive way is the Soviet mantra
For Venera, it didn't hurt anyone. Let 'em cook.

mmm, did anyone else land on Venera? You sound like a moron , you know?
Great video. Just got yourself another subscriber:)
fantastic video and a wise message in the end. 👏👏👏
Nice illustrative video 🎉❤
It's only one of the greatest scientific accomplishments of all time.
Lol word, how I didn't even learn about this until I was like 28, 29😂
Even better than sliced bread?!
@@NarwahlGaming or butter on a knife?!
And, it's SPHERICAL
its one of the greatest deceptions the freemasons ever pulled off for sure. Look how many brainless people just follow the other, without critical thinking or research. Once you crack the code, you will realize how everything turned from smart to retarded, because everything is literall ass backwards. The whole space thing is a lie. They were using gleasons earth maps in ww2, earth isnt a marble......
I almost thought this was another Simon Whistler channel
Except it seems well researched and better produced.
@@Bruvva_Wu Some of those are shockingly bad
@stevenobrien557 bad but not as rushed, error filled and incorrect clip art as the Dark Skies/Dark Seas channels.
Lol well let's be honest, I'm sure all he does is just do the presentation/narration, I dont think he actually does the behind-the-scenes work
Great video piece! 👍🏽👍🏽
When citing temperatures - please confirm which units you're citing.
cool new details about the designs, new sub !
All these Venusian photos were rectified to actual wide-field landscapes some 20 years ago.
Fun fact: The Russians actually focused so much on Venus, because it's much closer to Russia compared to any other countries!
Thank you for the video
when you go all the way to Venus and forget to take the lens cap off
10:10 "The Soviet Union Just didn't believe in quitting, I mean until they literally quit being a Union" 😅

But The Decline of an American Empire plays out daily on the web.
@@MizMite2002 There has never been an American empire.
No they didn't, looks like you failed at history. It was one sell out puppet responsible for the destruction of the Union.

Modern computers aren’t made to last anymore, because companies have shifted from designing computers for business and institutions to that of regular consumer demand. This shift occurred sometime in the late 80’s with the advent of the PC computers. Also, with the increase in software storage capacity came the lazy solution model. It used to be that when you design a computer you made sure every single part was designed perfectly because otherwise your software could not run correctly, but with increased computer software capacity many modern computers are simply designed to rely on self correcting software tools in cases where hardware is faulty. These two factors have contributed to a model of computer design the last 30 years which is incredibly unreliable compared to its predecessors. Which inversely were also much simpler designs that used far more logic to solve their unique problems. To solve this dilemma its clear that a revolution in the world of atoms is required. New hardware and material designs have to be produced in the next couple decades that push the boundaries of reliable design.
Thirty years ago, 40MB was the standard hard disk size. A disk would typically have a life of two years. Daily or for the lazy weekly backups were essential.
no error correction has become necessary since chip makers are pushing against the limits of what is possible without quantum schenanigans turning your data into sphaggety
I love this video! fascinating
Nice work I enjoyed this
We should put up a huge solar shade in a lagrange point around venus and watch it cool down. We would learn a lot about terraforming and we could control how much sunlight venus gets so we could make it the perfect temperature.
We should nuke the venus till it move from its orbit, move away from sun, so the themp will decrease
till you realize nobody ever went to space because it impossible.... funny how from the 60s till now, no more moon missions. You know what happened? People know where its filmed, and they dont want to get caught. Mars was filmed on DEVON ISLAND. Put that in google, you will literally see "astronauts in gear IN CANADA"....
It's not the sun that's heating Venus (well, it is, but not much more than Earth), it's the pressure that creates the heat. The dark side is just as hot as the sunny side, and a day (sunrise to sunset) is 117 days long. It's like how your bike pump gets hot when using it.
@@dk-bw4gk It is the sun. The difference to earth is that it keeps the heat trapped. If you would remove all sun light from venus it would take a few centuries for the atmosphere to get thinner and condense in the end it would look like a ln ice moon covered with dry ice.
While interesting to those who have never seen any videos about Russians probes to Venus, this is all old material shown many times by other channels.
What? You want him to go up and shoot new stuff - Kubrick style?
Great presentation!
Informative video,thanks for posting,was disappointed when you mentioned the microphone heard "spooky" noises but you failed to put the sound up which would have been very interesting to listen too.
13:04: Nice documentary about the exploration of Venus. But you say that Venera 13 was sent in 1981, but the image is of Venera 8.
its all fiction.... browse devon island if you wanna see astronauts "playing space" in canada, pretending to be on mars. They simply dont want to tell you what they do with the money, so they give you this bullshit, and you believe it. Pretty simple
I love it, the soundtrack of Venus wind is still on youtube btw
I really like the "vibe or feel" of this video.. it brought attention to a lot of very concerning aspects. Keep the good videos coming plz
Such an interesting chain of missions. Venusbhas been sorely beglected since the USSR evaporated. They didn't do much right in Russia, and still don't but they sure nailed venus exploration and space exploration in general.
Venera 9 filmed a venusian slug moving through 3 or 5 frames. They wrote it off as the wind current.
The USA and Soviet Union should have been working together on this stuff instead of against. Imagine what we could have accomplished?
RUclips kept recommending this video to me, and I'm glad it did, welld done Space Race.
By Jove! That was smashing good. Thanks!

Great video essay.
Excellent video 📹
Good knowledge 👌
Make this top comment for no reason mate :D
That was enjoyable. Thanks
Thank you, that was a very interesting presentation. Venus is an extreme environment.
Excellent video
Beautifully narrated. And very intelligent, compared to the usual beain dead level these days. Seriously enjoyed. 👍
How am I just barely finding your awesome YT channel?!!
It was more a case of general Soviet Neuroses than anything Venus specific. The guy in power demanded it so the space program kept trying until they brute forced success in a futile attempt to avoid the Gulag. Of course being the Soviets success wasn't garneted protection and succeeding too well could also be a gulag sentence.
this is what got me into soviet space exploration history, getting pictures of the venus' surface so long ago is pretty crazy
