RE: Life's Role in Geology Part 1: How to Stop an Exploding Planet
umm very interesting stuff and fascinating. I wonder if we'll ever make it there :)

We've been sending probes to Venus since the 1970s, but I imagine it will be a while until we actually visit- the atmosphere is too caustic for us to land and survive, even in ships.
Yes I meant visit it. Would be fascinating but I personally think we should discover the oceans of this planet first, if we put the money we have put in space in the oceans. We need to explore and save our oceans before they are completely radiated by Fukushima. To me that is the priority :)
All the radiation in Fukushima wouldn't be enough to irradiate our oceans even if it had been dumped entirely into the water, rather than capped- don't get me wrong, it's bad, and it getting into the food chain sucks, but it's not anywhere near that bad.
This also gets into the whole issue with only having one priority- past a certain point, which we admittedly haven't passed yet, further effort on a cause can start seeing diminishing returns. It doesn't make a ton of sense for us to just focus on one thing, especially since technological advances in one field often synergize with those in another, which is often the case with ocean and space research.
Fukushima radiation has reach the US coast and Is causing a lot of damage.
I understand yes, I don't mean completely stop anything else by prioritising exploration of the oceans. You can still do more thing one thing at a time just focus on one thing more for the time being.
