Yet in the 1950s, Soviet scientists looked at all of that and decided to land on it anyway and take photos. What followed was nearly three decades of failures, explosions, and crushed spacecraft before they finally pulled off one of the most remarkable engineering achievements in the history of space exploration. The story of how they actually did it is one that almost nobody knows, and it deserves far more attention than it gets. #space #Venus #Science #Venera #NASA
