    "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.
