this lends credence to the stealth comrade theory, btw

    the Venera probes failed because they were sent up by commies, our captains of industry will effortlessly outshine their Marxist works

        @kuna Also note that at that altitude, the temperature in Venus’s stratosphere is a positively freezing 30 ℃ or so.

        The real problem is that Venus is short on hydrogen, so getting back up into orbit from the Venusian stratosphere … well, good luck with that.

        (It’d make a good platform for a crewed research station, but a lousy prospect for colonization.)
