Man. You know your planet is hardcore when even the snow is metal.
Brutal!
Not just metal.... Lead. 😳
You've got a knack of presenting facts in a certain way that makes your videos very absorbing even for those of us who dip in and out of the scientific realm. Thanks! Keep it up 😊
Love this channel, I rewatch the videos at night to help me sleep.
Airship colonies in the Venusian atmosphere is a good setting for a science fiction story.
And the only realistic way to colonize Venus this century. At about 50km up, conditions are second in habitability only to Earth. Cities towns and villages could be built to float at this magical altitude in the Venusian atmosphere. Colonization of Venus's upper atmosphere will probably become possible in the 2030s, the same decade colonization of Mars will likely become viable.
Winds are far too strong in the upper atmosphere so I don't think for this reason cloud cities will ever be a runner on Venus.
Why there won't be airship colonies on Venus:
1 - too dynamically unstable. One malfunction, one puncture and all or a portion of the colony gets dumped into one of the most hellacious environments in the solar system.
2 - the tech to remain aloft will need to contend with high winds and corrosive atmosphere.
3 - why? There's no commercial driver to motivate a floating colony. Science? Done far more cheaply and safely unmanned and/or from orbit.
4 - return will be nearly impossible. Venus has nearly as much gravity as Earth so large energetic rockets will be required. 100% of the return fuel will need to be brought because ISRU in the Venusian atmosphere lacks the elemental inputs needed. Anyone with aspirations of coming home will need to work out how to deliver and float a fully fuelled return rocket... over and above floating habitation modules.
Nature is under no obligation to make habitable areas of our solar system easy to access and return from. And no amount of foot-stamping and wishing on unicorns will make a Venusian venture economically viable.
Look at issic author channel that is his plan and use Venus raw materials to build them
@@CarFreeSegnitz My counterpoints
1) That makes things much more interesting and dangerous. Cool
2) So what? Nice challenge
3) No worries I have all the motivation necessary to make Venusian sky habitation possible. Yes some guy on the internet really does as hard as that is to believe. Anyone can be on the internet, you'd be wise to remember that ;)
4) So many things have been said to be impossible/nearly impossible and proven wrong over time. No, it is not nearly impossible you just don't see how it could be done yet.
We're going to sleep in the skies of Venus one day =)
Venus is so underrated! Thanks for giving her some love.
I don't think humans will ever overcome the gravity issue. Making Mars an unhealthy place to live. With almost the same gravity as Earth she's just a diamond in the rough. With tons of potential
Humans are likely really flexible when it comes to gravity. So long as it's not microgravity, I bet we could adapt to it and remain healthy. The gravity isn't the main benefit to Venus as a colonization target, the main benefit of Venus is it has an altitude where temperatures and pressures aren't much more than those on Earth. Mars has no altitude at which atmospheric pressures equal about 1 bar, and we need at least half a bar of atmospheric pressures to survive!
Are you insane? Its the hottest planet in the solar system. It rains melted metal and the atmosphere is high pressure sulfuric acid. Didn't you watch the video? We can't even terraform earth.
Scott Humphreys it’s only that hot on the surface and lower atmosphere. If you go higher in the atmosphere it’s very similar to earth. It has the right temperature and pressure. You can’t breathe there because it mostly carbon dioxide but that makes oxygen and nitrogen lifting gases which is handy in staying in the cool upper atmosphere of Venus.
Biggest long term problem with Terraforming Venus is that it has no magnetic field. Without that, it would make it so even if we could go there, we'd most likely need to live below the surface which nullifies the whole reason for wanting to go there in the first place!
@@Jordan-Ramses We are doing it right now
Someone give John a medal for this level of quality !!! Excellent work
Yes
"Snowing Lead" sounds like an unplugged Slayer song.
After watching these videos, suddenly, world politics and problems seem to get smaller and smaller.
JMG with the clutch pre-sleep video once again!
His voice is nice and calming, and his videos are quite interesting at the same time. Indeed great for laying in bed and watching a video before going to sleep. :D
Haha.. best f***ing thing to watch on your laptop in bed.. learning stuff and nice a soothing voice >:]
Good point, I've paused it and now will save it for last.
Gawd almighty, me too. Captures my bipolarity so I can sleep.
Snows metal? And here I thought we got some wild snow storms here in Canada.lol😂🇨🇦
You changed your pic!
Cool profile picture! Vikings were some of the greatest explorers ever.
@@happyhammer1 Warhammer envy. BTW, Thor would LOVE 150 mph metallic snow (queue wicked shred)
It's been quite a warm winter so far here in Alberta. Thankfully tomorrow is gonna be COLD! :D
Lucky, it never snows where I live, instead we get below freezing dry days.
What an interesting planet !
Thanks for doing a video on venus. Fir being as interesting as venus is and its history is I always found it weird that there were so few videos and research on the planet. Great job JMG
Wolters World fir? :P
@@malik87breakeryou've never made a typographical error of any kind? Ever? Wow.... you're perfect
I found myself sitting here thinking what the f*** is up with Venus? And here I am
Yes i saw Venus in September last year for many days in broad daylight!!
I hope for the small chance that Betlejuice goes within my lifetime. It could be tomorrow, it could be 1000 years from now, it's just as likely to be either.
@@lhaviland8602 yes! That will be a sight to see

Hi shadab where were you?
JMG coming in clutch. Love your videos! And your voice puts me to sleep in a good way
Caught me late night bingeing on your videos. Just subscribed, thanks to TH-cam recommend just now. Excellent content man.
Kenny Hodges go to Event Horizon, it’s his other channel. He does interviews with the authors of papers that he often cites.
Same here. I always watch from the recommends and never subbed until now.
@@DOGfacedMAN Thanks. I was not aware he had another channel.
More probes need to be sent there.
And men.
...evil men and women.
yeah Probe Bably thats needed .. maybe Mr FredX Hell could ship them ?
Lmao. They cant send shit there let alone people. Lmao
@@charlesjohnson5429 currently, but they will once the interest validates the cost. Humans on the other hand, may never happen.
@@charlesjohnson5429 Yes they can. Time to wake up and smell the coffee instead of living in ignorant delusion. The technology is there they just need motive and funding
I love that this channel is pitched high brow enough that I learn plenty and get a lot of enjoyment from the videos but not so high brow that I can't follow what's being said. Keep up the good work!
Well done :)
Yours has become one of my favorite TH-cam channels.
You know, this would make a great series. Go through the planets, maybe some moons, it would be so much fun! 😊
Love this channel! Though I have to say that 'Event Horizon' has become my alltime favourite - it has the perfect format for those of us viewers not directly working in the fields of astronomy and cosmology. Great video!
I love both channels. Made with love of what I'm doing :)
And with EH, I have two astonishingly great collaborators to put things together. It's me on steroids, so to speak.
Venus has to be Ozzy's favorite planet - it snows metal!
He-he
He would be snow blind though
@@NormanBatesIsMyMum
My eyes are blind, but I can see.
The snowflakes glisten on the trees.
yeah and dio didn't die he just went to Venus
Venus: "Puny humans, you want to terraform me? You can't even handle a bit of snow"!
Molten metal snow though? Seems kinda hostile to me. Even solid metal raining down really fast is deadly.
Pretty amazing topic, man! Really interesting! 😊
Fantastic show
I love this channel and event horizon, keep up the amazing work
I have watched so many of your other videos and yet I have only recently discovered this channel. One of the best TH-cam channels!
This channel is where it all started!
Neat. Venus IS quite an intriguing, mysterious planet. Cool video as always, JMG!
Hey John. I’m a new subscriber. I have watched several of your videos and you have an amazing ability to break down astronomy 🪐 into information that I’m able to fully understand! Thanks so much and please keep the videos coming. Thanks. 💜
They just keep geting better. I love your videos
love this channel bro keep up the excellent work~!:)
Just love this channel. No other way to describe it, just the best, thanks for all your videos!
I love your videos JGT I have been a space freak since I was a kid. Your future aspect is cool and commentary on top. Just keep doing what u do my friend.. 👍👍
I take a picture when it comes up on the horizon when at work. .. Sometimes.. Not recently but when Venus and Jupiter are chillin..lol
Hey maybe sometime, EVENTually when you take the picture of Venus on the HORIZON you could post it and share it!
#1 seems even more intriguing given the new discovery of phosphine in the venusian atmosphere.
Thanks John great vid. The fact it rains metal is mind blowing 👍👌
How have I not found your channel until now? Subscribed! Thank you for the content, I've been enjoying it quite a bit.
AMAZING --> YOU DID IT!!!! Finally, a video about Venus ***without*** the dull, old-fashioned, uncreative phrase "... with a surface, hot enough to melt lead"
I look forward to learning about Venera-D's lens cap management system!
That was a good one John what you said. “Venus is earth’s twin. EVIL Twin .
Love you man.Keep up the good work.
This video does not talk about it, but certain things in this video may be related to each other:
Isn't Venus' lack of a magnetic field due to it's slow rotation? Isn't rotation necessary for a planets core to be able to generate a magnetic field in some way?
I have also understood that Venus' loss of hydrogen molecules into space after the runaway greenhouse effect was eventually due to the lack of that magnetosphere.
Venus has the largest active volcano in the solar system!
Best episode yet from you Sir. Stay warm Man.
Superb video. 1 of my favorite TH-cam channels!
Love your videos. You’re very smart.
Fastastic video! Thank you so much for your efforts.
Hi John it's 44 deg Celsius here in Scone NSW today great show. Cheers mate.
Well we know thet our earth's core in theory has 3 parts and the core with the outer core rub against each other making the magnetic field! But if venus is spinning backwards it may effect it. If the core is spinning counter clockwise and the planet it's self is spinning in the direction then probably the outer core and the inner core sping in the same direction, but the core spins a little faster making the weak magnetic field.
This!
Thanx John, you just made my wednesday a little better
The funny thing about this channel is that it will NEVER run out of new content!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great video. Very interesting topic.
interesting! i never thought about the possibility of old life that adapted to the extreme conditions on venus. thank you John!
It likely wouldn't be complex life. It would be more like the life that can exist in extreme and hostile conditions. Look up extremophiles.
Love your vlogs, a refreshing third party view that is not sensationalized, and relies on facts we can assimilate for our own opinions, and conclusions.
A review of Earths moon will reveal a litany of features stranger than fiction. Please do a video on the inexplicability of our moon
Mark McFarlane such as?
The fact that the Earth is 400 times smaller than the sun but also 400 times closer to Earth, allowing a perfect eclipse. And that's just the beginning of a series of preposterous oddities that do not lend themselves to probable explanation
@@MarkDMcFarlane The size of the earth has not a single thing to do with eclipses. And it'd be more odd if the moon didn't form perfect eclipses, for that to happen it'd have to be absurdly close or absurdly far away.
same portion always faces earth
You rock, John!
Moving planets sounds cool (I’m talking to you Mercury), but I think we should first figure out how to redirect asteroids.
Go to the pharmacy and get the cream.
colin Paterson lmao what
@@13crowintuitivestarot hemeroids
Venus definitely deserves some more love. NASA hasn't sent anything there in a long time. Would be cool if the Russians sent a new lander with modern cameras and instruments.
@therealnightwriter mhm
@therealnightwriter they let this one out of the nuthouse recently
There was a young lady from Venus
Whose body was shaped like a....
*Captain to security, come in!*
An android of culture I see!
like a Regis?
Just found this channel. TH-cam suggestions finally did something right. Can't wait to go through your back catalog of videos.
A lot of conjecture is what makes the planet "strange" . Check out Thunderbolts project and a lot of this won't seem so mysterious and even more fascinating.
Thank for this informative post.
This is am amazing video!
I love this channel!!!!! I actually feel an understanding of Venus and not just the most buzzworthy facts.
This channel is a hidden gem and I'm so happy I stumbled upon it 😊
I started following when you had about 8k followers. Amazing progress
That wasn't that long ago :)
@@JohnMichaelGodier Yes the growth has exploded.
I know one "strange aspect" Venus has that you didn't mention: when I squint at it, it looks like a green Chrysler LeBaron.
Thanks that was pretty awesome
John you're voice in you're videos are legendary. So glad you are tending to you're personal channel while managing Event Horizon. Keep it up brother. 👍🌎👍🌍
Thanks! Tons more videos to come on both channels!
@@JohnMichaelGodier Would love to see more machine civilization content. Just my two cents. Keep on keeping on. 🌎🌍🌏
Absolutely love your videos
Venus is a weird planet indeed. Wish more people would make videos of this weird thingiemajig. Daym I remember when I started subscribing to your channel not that long ago and you had like 16k subbers.. moving up dude! :) I like to save up and make a John Michael binge watch from time to time and you never dissapoint.
I love the narration. Great video
wow, phwarrr !!! i love love love your videos man
great video my dude
Great! Keep it up!
hey John, great video.
i also like your literary sci fi work.
Thanks! Writing a new novel now, in fact.
Hey John, great video as always. Do you plan on doing some more theoretical videos on how could life look like under the ice of Europa or other exo terrestial objects?
Yes, I've been planning a video on convergent evolution with just that purpose. Not sure if I will finish it this month, but it's coming.
@@JohnMichaelGodier sweet! I've been waiting for more videos on this topic from you and Isaac for months, haha. And there's just not enough quality content on this matter on youtube (and written media too)
Yeah, very little, which is why it's taking me so much time to do the script. But I'm obsessed with it, and it's a definite for a video.
Awesome channel m8
Excellent, more please!
Great video John. Thanks for Staring all your thoughts and knowledge. And it’s not meant bad, but always hard not to fall asleep with your voice. Haha.
I love these videos!
I like your voice, it's very deep and relaxing.
Thank you! Always awesome to see a new vid!
Sure am happy I found this channel
Venus is earths sister planet born last when Saturn went nova, so around a million years from now will have a breathable atmosphere
Yeah...umm...wtf?
One of AC Clarke's stories (I don't recall which one) had a scenario where far out in the solar system we would nudge thousands of comets (after wrapping them in foil to protect from the sun) into a collision course with Venus thus replenishing the water and kickstart the terraforming. I've always loved that scenario. How spectacular that would be.
So far, four people have disliked this video. I think TH-cam should make it mandatory that if you dislike a video, You need to leave a comment explaining why. Do four people just hate Venus?
Nog because if we dislike and its a subjective thing called taste we talk about, we should not Be forced to engage in the thing we disliked enough to make it known. I only would consider to auto-leave the video or just continue before pressing dislike button that will kick users pressing it before its finished.
Some people don't believe that Venus exists. They pray that the Earth is destroyed, so they can be Raptured to Heaven, and eat pork chops with Jesus.
Whoa, a fellow Akers. Well met, brother. lol
Very enjoyable and informative to watch throughout. The music is subtle but has its effect. Thank you for this video. I might become larger Venus than Mars fan...
Very good video!
Regular snow on Earth is also weird.
After a couple of videos your voice over skills got under my skin
Do you have any books or anything on this subject?
Truly enjoyable.
Was about to head to bed then I saw you had uploaded a video. I'll be dreaming of Venus exploration tonight.
All Hail The Sonics! Love the moniker.
excellent exposition of our sister planet! thank you John!
Awesome video.
glad I found this channel.
Me and my little brother watch your videos together, John. Thanks
I like your work John 👏
I think sometime soon people are going to wake up and view venus with the same interest as mars. I keep looking for in depth info about it and just cant find very much, seems like an enigma we havent yet completely figured out how to properly explore.
Watched Mars all summer from here in CO, now Venus is coming out in the early am, just incredible. Cheers!
Venus certainly is an enigma.... I'm sure it hides many secrets... It's even got it's own "stealth cloak" with it's thick refractive atmosphere to keep any scopes from looking to deep. I find the lack of info or interest about Venus suspicious too.... It's the closest planet to earth but all we hear is Mars talk.
Seems like intentional misdirection to me... I would not be surprised if there have been some secret Rover missions to Venus that we don't hear about, or some other juicy top secret info.
I just subscribe to the channel.
Keep it up, good information around here🌍🌠🌠
That picture of Venus’ magnetic field is amazing!
Great vid, John, thx... though dunno about you and that 'Le Baron' (lol)!
Huh.... It's such a coincidence that I saw your channel when my teacher was trying to find a video for something and that I just so happen to see it again today.
Sorry if this seemed weird, but it's just weird to me.
Always excited to watch your vids!
Thanks! Many more to come!
