Stuff To Blow Your Mind

Venus Exploration
The mission would see the ship arrive at venus, then drop an airship from low venusian orbit. On a parachute, ok, parachutes in towards the upper atmosphere. It's going to drop its arrow shell, its protective sarcophagus and inflate the helium blimp. Then it's going to carry out atmospheric activities for up to 28 days. The two crew members hopping the ascent vehicle return toLow venusian space. They get back in the transit vehicle, and they return back to earth. I hope the airship would get to send pictures back as it sinks down into the atmosphere gradually overtime.
