Everyone wants to rule the world, claiming tears for fear, but Russia has decided its places beyond the earth.
Dmitry Rogozin, director of Roscosmos, a Russian-run cosmonaut and aerospace research corporation, indicated earlier this week that his nation was planning an intragalactic mission to Venus, TASS reported.

“We think Venus is a Russian planet, so we should not lag behind,” Rogozin insisted. “Projects of the Venus mission have been included in Russia’s joint government program of space exploration for 2021-2030.”
The Sun’s second planet, also known as Earth’s twins, is – on a good day – just 25 million miles away. If the distance is putoff, consider that the surface temperature is 900-900 which is hot enough to melt the lead.
Rogozin’s statement revealed that earth gases called phosphins have been found in Venus’ atmosphere.
The European Space Agency says the Russians, and the former Soviet Union, are no strangers to Venus, which began exploring significant planets in 1967.
“Russia still retains its unique expertise in the design and development of landing craft for Venus and continues to define scientific works for that craft,” the agency noted on its website.
But Rogozin’s claim about Venus’s Russian ownership is inactive.
