I usually add "Wow, underneath all that crushing atmosphere Venus doesn't look that different from Earth."

  I'm in no way a conspiracy theoirst wrt. space exploration, but a follow-up question popped to my mind immediately: those pictures are so Earth-like that how do we know they were made on Venus? (I assume there was a way for the global scientific community to independently verify that this data indeed came from space)

    That's harder than you might think... I suspect they could send a lander to the same location and if the rock formations matched up that would probably count.

    The latest Mars expedition did gave us quite detailed video of the landing. I thought that maybe they have videos of the whole trip across space, even in crude low res. form.
