  It's great to see that NASA and Roscosmos are back to working together. I hope it'll stay that way and pray that politicans won't try to mess things up again. Also cool they're trying to put a balloon in that mission - maybe this will lead to long-duration studies using balloons and airships, which can be placed above the corrosive layers and killer temperatures.

    The two final Soviet Venus missions, Vega-1 & Vega-2, both flew with the first-ever -- and only -- aerostats (balloons) deployed on another planet! Images & details: http://mentallandscape.com/V_Vega.htm http://mentallandscape.com/V_Vega.htm

  Good times. ISRO is also mulling on a mission to Venus[1][2]. Hoping to see them materialize soon.
