Venus is easily the 2nd most interesting planet &amp;quot;close&amp;quot; to us besides Mars. I was really looking forward to that one.&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt; From the standpoint of total mass delivered to Venus, the best launch opportunities occur in 2029 and 2031.&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#x27;s too bad Russia&amp;#x27;s ambitious space programs are mosty vaporware. They pinoeered Venus exploration and have their own (pretend) Venus program that AFAIK isn&amp;#x27;t going anywhere.&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt; a proposed Russian space mission to Venus that would include an orbiter and a lander to be launched in 2029.&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&amp;#x2F;wiki&amp;#x2F;Venera-D?wprov=sfti1&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&amp;#x2F;wiki&amp;#x2F;Venera-D?wprov=sfti1&lt;/a&gt;</text></comment>
