Likely they could, but consider instead doing a Venus Orbiter similar to the Mars orbiter. With some technology behind he perhaps it could deploy kite/sail like probes that slowly dip their way through the atmosphere.
We probably don't go back simply because the environment is so hostile the idea of landing man there is not possible and hence we concentrate on Mars which holds other allure aswell
- TeMPOraL 12y agoThere is an idea of deploying floating habitats on Venus - apparently an air-filled balloon would float above the hostile layers of gases, and you could still extract some unseful materials from the atmosphere itself. I hope they'll at least try sending a long-duration unmanned airship there.
