    Mysterious black box: I wonder what was censored above Pioneer 10 & below Ganymede in the lower right corner?

    Must be an alien space station.

    Only 200 missions in 50 years? Why does it seem that number should be higher? That's not hit against NASA and others, they really are making the mot of their missions if we have only done 200 and learned all that we have.

    @TimMighty: Cunningly concealed at the end of the second paragraph, the words "giant, full-sized map here" are actually the link to a giant, full-sized map.

    The dark purple of a link doesn't always provide the best contrast with the black article text, so it's not surprising you missed it.

    "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.
