To all SSC Station occupants

Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.

Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

In fact Venus, is more hospitable that many think. In certain altitudes above the surface, pressure and temperature are very similar to earth, and the presence of atmosphere, protects from solar and cosmic radiation. If you have a "floating" platform to stand, you can live wearing only breathing aparatus.

Fascinating isn't it?

Visions of cloud city in my head. Floating habitats has been proposed by a number of scientists as a more viable way to colonise the planet... though I would hate to be on one in case of power failure.

Looks like Rocket Lab have a small-payload mission in the works for Venus (2023). That'd be cool!

The discovery of phosphine on Venus has caused a lot of resonance in the scientific community, as this gas may indicate the presence of life high in the clouds of this planet.
But the concentration of the substance was too high.
Scientists have rejected the possibility of phosphine in the atmosphere of Venus. The substance that was mistaken for phosphine turned out to be sulfur dioxide.
