Not yet, and nobody is likely to for some time. Venus is VERY hot - above 900 degrees Fahrenheit - and has fairly high atmospheric pressure, about 90 times Earth's.

The pressure is bearable; humans live in deep ocean habitats at nearly those pressures, and submarines go deeper. But the temperature would be a killer. It will be quite a while before any people set foot on Venus.

One proposal that might work is to seed the cloudtops of Venus with a blue-green algae that could metabolize the sulfuric acid in the "air" of Venus, and release water vapor. It might be possible, over a few centuries or millennia, to "terraform" Venus and make it livable.

No. No human has been to another planet. NASA's manned probes only went as far as the Moon (1969-1972). Venus is more than 100 times as far away, even at its closest.

But unmanned 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 Express has been orbiting the planet since 2006.

Has Venus been observed closely by humans?

The surface of Venus is unobservable due to the thick cloud cover. Some Russian Venera spacecraft have landed there to get a glimpse of the rocky surface, and the entire planet has been mapped by radar.

Nothing. Venus Flytraps cannot harm humans.


Are you sure humans can live on Venus'?

This is absolutely incorrect. Venus's carbon atmosphere is so thick and dense that temperatures on venus reach 464 degrees celcius, and many, many volcanic eruptions are occurring every second on venus. Since there is so much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, it would be impossible for humans to breathe. Those are just some obvious reasons why venus is inhabitable to humans.


Why can people not visit venus?

Venus is far too hot and surface pressure is too high for humans to survive.


What kind of shelter does a Venus Flytrap need?

protection from humans
