from What If: Science, Theory, and Possibilities · host What If

This is Venus. Some say it's Earth's twin, but it's truly a hellish world. Our mission? Survive on it for 100 days. Surviving on Venus would be difficult. This inferno-beast of a planet packs lead-melting heat, acid clouds, and crushing pressure. Oh - and also... lightning. If you were tasked with surviving Venus for 100 days, how do you think you'd do it?
