Hi guys,

In only 21 days we will have the orbit insertion of this great spacecraft:

http://sci.esa.int/science-e/www/area/index.cfm?fareaid=64

Venus Express is a follow on from the Mars Express mission. Many of the instruments on the mission are simply upgraded versions of those on the Mars Express platform. After a 153 day cruise to Venus the spacecraft will enter Venusian orbit in April 2006.

I hope the mission will be successful and we can start to investigate Venus as exhaustive as we do in Mars...

And luckily, in a couple of years, we will also have Google Venus!


A few years, maybe, but Google is apparently planning for the future today :

"Google has now plans to create similar sites for other major planets for which information is available. It has obtained domain names like Google Mercury, Google Venus and Google Jupiter."

No planet is safe!
