Exploring Venus Season 1 Episode 2 aired on September 2, 2020.


The second planet from the sun, Venus, with its toxic overheated surface, has long been neglected by planetary mission planners. Lately, Earth's sister planet has taken center stage in one of the greatest quests in science today: the search for life-bearing exo-planets across the Milky Way galaxy. This quest hinges on several essential questions: Why did planet Earth live, and why did Venus die?

Four billion years ago, Venus held the promise of supporting life. Then it entered a death-spiral of ever-increasing heat. But, 50 km above its desolate surface, the cool cloud tops of Venus offer a potential refuge. Solar-powered ships and habitats could effortlessly float there, sailing the winds that circle the globe. That has inspired scientists to take the first steps toward settling Venus.
