Good questions, and good responses as well! I don’t think you should get downvoted for asking relevant questions. Mars is definitely easier to visit, easier for robots, and much easier for humans to explore. However, I think Venus is a treasure trove of data for planetary, weather, and climate scientists. For example, the mysterious solar absorber in the upper atmosphere mentioned in the article; might it be something that has applications here on earth for solar power? I would love Venus to hold as much of a sway in the public imagination as Mars does at the moment.
