   How much money has NASA spent on Venus?

   • NASA has only spent about 3.7 or so billion dollars on its Venus missions ever, since 1958. You compare that to, something like Mars, where it's closer to 30 billion, about 28, $29 billion. You can see this, in a sense, the discrepancy of in terms of dollars as a proxy for political priority, Venus has just not had that.

   Can astronomers find a planet between Earth and Venus?

   • Using observations by NASA’s TESS (Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite) and many other facilities, two international teams of astronomers have discovered a planet between the sizes of Earth and Venus only 40 light-years away. Multiple factors make it a candidate well-suited for further study using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope.

   What did NASA's Mariner 2 tell us about Venus?

   • NASA’s Mariner 2 was the first spacecraft to make a successful flyby of Venus, returning data that began to reveal the surprisingly harsh nature of the planet, with its slow retrograde rotation, staggeringly hot surface temperatures, and thick carbon dioxide atmosphere.

   How long did it take to get to Venus?

   • The Soviet Union sent a series of probes to Venus between 1961 and 1984 as part of its Venera program (Venera is Russian for Venus). Ten probes made it to the surface, and a few functioned briefly after landing. The longest survivor lasted two hours; the shortest, 23 minutes.

   How long does it take to see the Sun on Venus?

   • For another, because of the planet's extremely slow rotation, sunrise to sunset would take 117 Earth days. And by the way, the Sun would rise in the west and set in the east, because Venus spins backward compared to Earth. While you’re waiting, don’t expect any seasonal relief from the unrelenting temperatures.
