NASA Finally Has a Computer That Can Survive on Venus

“Even though Mercury is closer to the Sun, Venus is the hottest planet in the Solar System. It has surface temperatures of about 460 degrees Celsius (860 degrees Fahrenheit) coupled with a carbon dioxide-rich air that has an atmospheric pressure about 90 times that of Earth’s. As such, surface exploration has been virtually impossible in the past, as this extreme heat and pressure would destroy scientific equipment. That’s about to change…”
