Has anyone ever been to Venus?

Answer 1

No. Only unmanned spacecraft have been to Venus. The farthest man has travelled is to the Moon. The closest that Venus ever gets to the earth is about 115 times farther than that.

In the early 20th century, it was thought that Venus was like Earth but with more water. There are many early Science Fiction stories that describe the oceans and jungles of Venus. In reality, Venus is almost completely unlike Earth except in size. Several unmanned spacecraft have landed on Venus. All of them were destroyed within hours by the heat and the atmosphere. Several more unmanned craft have done surveys from orbit.

The biggest problems with landing a human on Venus are cooling and pressure. It would be the equivalent of building a suit that would withstand the pressure almost a kilometer below the surface of Earth's oceans, while simultaneously being bathed in molten lead.

Satellites that have visited the planet included:

- NASA Mariner 2 flyby in 1962.

- the Soviet (Russian) Venera landers between 1970 and 1985

- NASA Magellan (mapped the planet with radar) from 1989 to 1994

- ESA satellite Venus Express, orbiting the planet since 2006

Answer 2

NASA's manned probes only went as far as the Moon (1969-1972). No human has been to another planet.

But satellites have visited the planet, beginning with Mariner 2 in 1962. Between 1970 and 1985, the USSR (Russia) successfully landed ten unmanned Venera probes, which functioned for less than 2 hours each in the extreme heat. The NASA satellite Magellan mapped the planet with radar from 1989 to 1994 and studied various phenomena. The ESA satellite Venus Expresshas been orbiting the planet since 2006.

Answer 3

Mankind has yet to land on another planet, an it is highly unlikely we shall ever set foot upon Venus. Venus has temperatures reaching 860F, surface pressure 92 times that of Earth's surface, and suffers from excessive acid rain.

Answer 4

No one has ever visited Venus. With current technology, it is too far away to send someone. 27 spacecrafts have, however, been sent to the planet.

Answer 5

No the farthest that man has ever been is to Earth's moon. Only probes and other technology has been to other planets and farther but their has been no humans past the moon.

Answer 6

No one has ever visited Venus. With current technology, it is too far away to send someone. 27 spacecrafts have, however, been sent to the planet.

Answer 7

No. I have never been there "Mah Lord"

Answer 8

no it is far to hot
