I disagree. Asteroid mining first.

  Asteroid mining is a hell of a lot harder than sending a probe to Venus that can survive long enough to give decent data. It also only really gets useful when space is a big enough industry that we're building things in space for space.

    But the whole "life on venus" thing is so incredibly improbable that it's not worth delaying other more important projects for. If microbial life exists there, then it has existed there for a long time, and it'll still be there a hundred years from now.
