The U.S. decided it was not possible to keep a lander cool enough to work on venus. The Russian lander got around this with a very simple system. They had radiator devices that were filled with excess rocket fuel. The devices were deployed enroute to super cool the fuel from the coldness of space. The fuel was pumped through the lander to cool it upon landing.

The federation was also callsed Rossiyskaya, not Russkaya, thus as there was no Russian state entity participating in the project we can argue that it's a project first and foremost of some nations of USSR, and Russians were not included here on state level.

The reason for this is that the moment has passed. There’s no pissing match about who can reach the moon first with heavy undertones of demonstrating ICBM tech; there is no scientific reason to land a man on the moon, you can do a hundred robotic missions for the same cost. In the 60’s it had to be manned; you could hardly do anything with a rover let alone land the thing safely. The only thing that’s left is 1960’s nostalgia and ”it’s kind of cool’. That’s why it restarts and stops before achieving anything over and over. A politician decides to play on 1960’s nostalgia and thinks of the moon landing as this great unifying moment. NASA gets to halfheartedly play with some tech and in the end everyone knows it is stupid and expensive. Manned missions to the moon are just stupid and it just gets more stupid over time.

When i was working as a mechanic, one of my customers was an engineer who had done lots of development on the computers they put in cars. Its a very tough environment for a computer, extremes of hot and cold, corrosive chemicals, vibration etc. So they use carbide chips if my memory is working, instead of silicon chips, like in your desktop. They are much tougher than silicon chips, and deal with extreme heat better, which is key for being able to "pot" them in a lump of epoxy resin, to keep bad chemicals and vibrations away. Its really hard to seal up a computer with a big cooling fan vent. The russians had to use carbide chips for their venus probes, and i remember our customer, the engineer, was blown away by how short the lifespan was for a computer on venus, minutes or hours. Cant remember. This is with cutting edge version and big old budget version of car computer technology that lasts decades in a car.

I so hoped that the board was conformal coated, but popping open the case revealed a rather plain 2 sided mainboard with regular silicon chips, no conformal coat, no gaskets on the case, or the 3 connectors. From the look of that board, it'd had dust and water incursion more than once, but now there were some corroded traces. After a cleanup and dry out, I was stoked that the car was mostly back to normal.

If you want to stick to your band analogies, landing on Venus using the technology of that time is as if a band who only uses broken instruments that can only play a few notes, played by musicians who're missing a few fingers, manages to compose a hit even though their composer's deaf and their main singer cannot sing more than an octave - and somehow they still managed to get two hit songs. I've yet to see SpaceX or NASA send successfully a lander to a place where temperatures melt lead, with sulfuric acid rains and 1km deep pressures. Oh, and using only tech from 40 years ago, please. THAT'S HARDCORE. The probes didn't last more than 1 hour each? Well duh, of course.

14:47 This is actually incorrect. Venera 14 was not the last probe to land on Venus, Vega 1 and Vega 2 missions both had not only balloon probes but landers as well. These balloons and landers were deployed during a flyby of Venus before the main spacecrafts departed for the Halley's comet. Both landers looked similar to the last Venera probes, they were successful and landed on Venus on June 11th and 15th 1985 respectively, more than three years after Venera 14.

I'm not sure why you thought venera had film cameras. It would have been ridiculous to somehow automate a film camera, processing, and then scanning system at that time, in a venusian probe with a lifespan of 53 minutes. It used the same kind of cameras we'd always used in space, electronic TV cameras. Not digital cameras mind you. Now some of NASAs missions did use film cameras for rocket stage footage, and it was then manually recovered, but electronic imaging using things like cathodes tubes existed back then. It's how we were able to live broadcast the moon walk.

Super video! Thank you very much. The only thing that could have been said is that Venus, unlike Mars, is about the same size as the Earth and the orbit of Venus is easier to reach than that of Mars. The SF novel "Planet of Death" by the famous Stanislaw Lem from 1951 had a great influence in the Soviet Union. In it, cosmonauts (as astronauts are called there) discover the remains of a civilization that had wiped itself out with nuclear weapons. The film adaptation called "The Silent Star" 1960 was very popular. And so elaborately made that film material was bought by Hollywood producers, who even used it for two cinema films. In any case, there was the idea that Venus, which is in many ways more Earth-like than Mars, was much more likely to have life like our planet. Unfortunately, the Wikipedia article about the massive change in the view of Venus due to the Soviet Venus missions has disappeared. It clearly showed how much people believed in life there before and no longer afterwards. Now there is a Venus in fiction, but unfortunately the many SF novels in the Eastern Bloc (USSR and the socialist countrys around) hardly feature in it. I noticed the whole thing because I've always been a Venus fan and an SF reader. And there was a discussion a while ago when an old climate scientist said that we are in danger of becoming like Venus. Only to say that, we'd have to know a lot more about Venus and what we know doesn't scientifically allow such a statement. Incidentally, Fraiser Cain from Universe today interviewed one of the leading Venus researchers a year ago. The video is called: "I'm obsessed with Venus now". Super Interview! The balloons of the Soviets in the Venus atmosphere are a super cool topic. It would certainly be a great topic for a video. They were the first flying machines on another planet. Long before the super helicopter drone flew on Mars. Space race, you know ?😊 Thanks for your great videos. I always enjoy watching them! 😊

Our technology today isn't built to last because we live in (the illusion of) abundance of ressources. There's big money in selling things to people that break all the times like iPhones, that's why you couldn't sent one to space. And then selling them a new one two years later. The shortage of materials like it occured in the eastern side of the iron curtain produced an amazing spirit of craftmanship, so many people learnt to build something from almost nothing and building things to last because you couldn't just order something new and have it delivered a week later, you often had to wait for years for replacement parts of machinery and things like that. That's how this philosophy of sturdy building emerged. I was born in the GDR, haven't personally experienced much of it but the aftermath and the spirit of the people that influenced me still rings through till today. Now I'm an engineer and I am amazed of what my parents and grandparents generation used to accomplish with the little means they had in all branches of life. I try to keep that spirit alive and I believe this is what the whole world needs to be doing but even better with the modern means of production we have today: build all sorts of things that are tough, modular, as easily repairable as possible and recycleable. Not the cheap throwaway junk we have today in consumer electronics, tools etc.

Modern computers aren’t made to last anymore, because companies have shifted from designing computers for business and institutions to that of regular consumer demand. This shift occurred sometime in the late 80’s with the advent of the PC computers. Also, with the increase in software storage capacity came the lazy solution model. It used to be that when you design a computer you made sure every single part was designed perfectly because otherwise your software could not run correctly, but with increased computer software capacity many modern computers are simply designed to rely on self correcting software tools in cases where hardware is faulty. These two factors have contributed to a model of computer design the last 30 years which is incredibly unreliable compared to its predecessors. Which inversely were also much simpler designs that used far more logic to solve their unique problems. To solve this dilemma its clear that a revolution in the world of atoms is required. New hardware and material designs have to be produced in the next couple decades that push the boundaries of reliable design.

Why would the soviets give up? What else were they going to do? It was probably cold outside, and other than drinking vodka, or get sent to a gulag, what were their choices?

Fun fact, the rocket launch at 1:07 while the narrator talks about Russia; that rocket was actually launched by Germany around 1940, give or take a few years.

I am in absolute awe of these missions. Soviet era ingenuity and exploratory zeal is woefully underreported. I don’t get how people can be flippant and dismissive when watching this. Love these missions. Wish others had more balls in theirs.

15:59 that’s why we haven’t gone back to the moon for more than half a century… …it is not only the money, for all the technological development they don’t have a rocket that is as capable as the Saturn V.

You do realize the earth spins? That literally makes no sense, depending on day or night Russia would be either close or even furthest from Venus.

"could you send an iphone into space and expect it to operate 40 years into the future" I believe so. Commercial-grade electronics are surprisingly sturdy. Obviously the battery would fail, but that's what an RTG is for. As for data errors, there is shielding and redundancy. Multiple computers packed into one unit, and this is then again doubled or tripled for a higher layer of safety. Pack 30 smartphones together and there is good chance some of them will still work decades into the future.... I mean, 20 year old nokia's 3310 still work perfectly, my own cheap chinese phone is 5 year old and it fell off a ladder, into a puddle, got wet 20+ times, was in one pocket with a strong radio (worked after a restart)....Only thing that's broken is the micro usb port (loose+ corrosion/dirt), but I've added a wireless charging pad and a wifi app for data transfer so no need for an usb cable.

It was more a case of general Soviet Neuroses than anything Venus specific. The guy in power demanded it so the space program kept trying until they brute forced success in a futile attempt to avoid the Gulag. Of course being the Soviets success wasn't garneted protection and succeeding too well could also be a gulag sentence.
