What are the odds in our lifetime there will be a probe sent into orbit and then down into the atmosphere with high-resolution cameras that can beam back imagery/video of the entire trip? I think it'd be fascinating to see what it's like both above and while descending through the clouds.
Also, is it possible life could exist in the clouds similar to how we now speculate on Venus?
- dylan604 6y agoI imagine it would be as un-spectacular as flying in a plane through clouds. Nothing to see. It would be that all the way to the point the camera melted and/or crushed.
- holler 6y agoperhaps but I would think the descent before entering the clouds would have plenty to look at..
- elihu 6y agoVideo from a low orbit satellite could be pretty spectacular. Especially if it's in a polar orbit and can see in whatever wavelength is necessary to see the weird geometrically symmetrical storms at the poles.
