    "Plots"? Really, BBC? It's not the cold war any more, we don't have to worry that they'll steal all the green-skinned alien space babes.

    As good a time as any to pimp Mitchell's tantalising reprocessings of the original Venera lander images:

    Lame jokes aside, I think it is important to study all of the planets in the Solar System so we better understand the conditions that make life here on Earth possible. Mars and Venus are especially relevant to that understanding because they are both so similar to Earth yet so different from it.

    Venus is an interesting study in global warming run amok, but from a more immediate and somewhat more practical sense, Mars is the better option for manned missions and eventual colonization.

    "Even the UN signals disapproval, as Saint Petersburg could be stripped of its title as a UNESCO world heritage site."

    This makes it sound like some other organization would strip St. Petersburg of its title. But the UN itself makes the designations. In other words:

    "If you build this then we'll take away your title. And then we'll be very upset we just did that."

    It's beautiful. And I think the St. Petersburgers will get over it. Parisians initially hated the Eiffel Tower.

    @BadUncle: I'm so glad someone else remembered the Eiffel Tower! Let's all live in huts the rest of our lives, that way, nobody can complain. Also, I'd bet that once this tower is completed, all of Sarah Palin's neighbors will claim to be able to see it too.
