      I mean, technically the first people to land on the moon were also the first people to travel to earth. I wonder if that technicality will be a point of debate for a distant future civilization since it was a round-trip

      You speak of ‘landing’ as if it were a choice, as if our ancestors stepped off a ship with a dream in their hearts and a map in their hands. No. They were dragged from the soil of their own homes, shackled in the belly of a beast, and dropped into a nightmare. That rock didn’t welcome us; it crushed us. It was the foundation of a system built to keep us beneath it, to ensure that no matter how hard we pushed, the weight of that history would keep us pinned to the bottom.

      Do not mistake the victim of a collision for a passenger on the ship. We were not the ones steering the vessel; we were the cargo, and the wreckage of that ‘landing’ is still felt in every generation that has had to claw its way out from under the debris"

    It’s still wild that we managed to put a Lander on Titan. Can’t wait for the Dragonfly mission. Nuclear powered octacopter on Titan. We’re going to learn so much.

      Not landed, as far as I know. There were like three missions that flew by Mercury. Getting a stable route after having traveled so close to the sun is damn hard.

        Right, Mercury is the “lump of clay” in the oven, not the volcany “pressure cooker” that is Venus. Mixed them up.

      The Russian space program worked incredibly hard to get those images. They focused on Venus when nobody else was sending missions there. I mean, still nobody else has really sent anything there!

      But the Venera Program was incredibly successful, despite Venus being an extraordinarily harsh environment to operate in.

        I didn’t know about it. I thought it must be impossible to have an image that was shot in a 450° hot sulfuric acid cloud that looks like normal rocks. It’s unbelievable.

          Iirc, the probe lasted half an hour before being destroyed. It’s an astonishing achievement to have sent back those pictures.

            That sounds right. I recall that one of the probes had a camera that was able to take a series of images like a video. But the video visually degraded with every shot it took after opening the lens cap. The effect was like watching a movie as the projector film starts to melt.

        The picture was black and white. The yellow was added after.

        I was mistaken, the 2nd last and final probe had colour.
