With those 900mph gales, why isn't the surface of Venus
polished smooth?  With 90atm of pressure, how do those
non-propelled clouds manage to stay up?  And, with that
726K temperature, how do those Venetians manage to survive?
BTW, I notice you say we'll never step foot on Venus,
was it your dad who said we'll never step foot on
the moon?
