I don't know about any life on Venus now, but what about in
the early days when it was apparently a bit more environmentally friendly? http://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn2843 http://www.funkyscience.net/ch6.html -------------------- "After having some business dealings with men, I am occasionally chagrined,
and feel as if I had done some wrong, and it is hard to forget the ugly circumstance. I see that such intercourse long continued would make one thoroughly prosaic, hard, and coarse. But the longest intercourse with Nature, though in her rudest moods, does not thus harden and make coarse. A hard, sensible man whom we liken to a rock is indeed much harder than a rock. From hard, coarse, insensible men with whom I have no sympathy, I go to commune with the rocks, whose hearts are comparatively soft." - Henry David Thoreau, November 15, 1853 |

I just don't buy it. Nothing can be alive on Venus. If you dropped an organism into the clouds, atmospheric circulation woudl carry it down to be incinerated in the depths. These press releases about life on Venus are just publicity stunts. You would never hear the top scientists like Esposito or Head talking about junk like that. When Sagan was discussing the idea in the 1960s, much less was known about the actual conditions on Venus. It was still thought to have water-dropplet clouds and a much less dense atmosphere.
