Russia got the first probe on Venus, so maybe it’s success being celebrated and reinforcing more interest. I just saw an episode of the new BBC series Planets talking about this. One thing they mentioned was that it was seriously suggested even in the 40’s that there could be rainforests and a fertile surface underneath the cloud cover on Venus. Could see the mystery in particular being an interesting thing to grow up hearing about.
