Neil deGrasse Tyson Just Revealed Declassified Photos From Venus By The Soviet Union

If you were to take a peak at NASA’s records from the 1960s, you’d notice the space agency calling Venus a planet from hell. At the same time, Mars became our destiny. Such careful labeling of the innermost planets isn’t a coincidence.
During the turbulent space race of the same era, the Soviet Union was fixated on sending costly missions to Venus. The hellish planet showed little to no prospects for life. Yet the Soviet Space Program didn’t decommission the Venera Program until the fall of the empire.
And thanks to Neil DeGrasse Tyson, we finally know why. Join us as we break down the declassified photos from Venus taken by the Soviet Union.
