Dear 22nd Century,
Is there life on Mars?
Human life, I mean. Or does a pioneering percentage of you have your heads in the clouds of a closer planet instead?
It’s not the sort of thing we take surveys about, because we’ve got a lot on our political plate right now. But if you were to ask the average 21st century Joe which planet we are most likely to establish permanent habitation on first, Mars would win in a landslide. It’s just a given. It’s NASA’s official plan has been ever since the first President Bush announced we’d land on the planet by, ahem, 2019 as well as Elon Musk’s highly theoretical plan for 2024. We’ve watched and read

NASA has announced the selection of its next two Discovery missions, set to launch later this decade.
The VERITAS and DAVINCI+ missions will explore the skies and map the surface of Venus in finer detail than ever before.
This will be the first time NASA sends a probe to our nearest planetary neighbor in over 30 years.
For the first time in over 30 years, NASA will visit Venus.
On Wednesday, the agency announced a pair of new missions, DAVINCI+ and VERITAS, will probe our nearest planetary neighbor starting between 2028 and 2030.
➡ These two sister missions both aim to understand how Venus became an inferno-like world capable of melting lead at the surface, NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said during the June 2 livestream touting the missions.

What our clouds might tell us about Venus
Aerobiology, microorganisms and prospects of life.

Researchers in the emerging field of aerobiology are using microorganisms swept up in the Earth’s atmosphere to probe the prospects for life in the clouds of Venus and on planets circling other stars.
These organisms aren’t just in breezes blowing dust across the ground. Viable organisms have been found all the way into the stratosphere and may extend to the edge of space.
“We don’t know where Earth’s biosphere stops above our heads,” says David Smith, an aerobiologist at NASA’s Ames Research Center, who was one of several scientists to address the topic yesterday at the virtual meeting of the American Geophysical Union. “It looks like everywhere we sample in the atmosphere we find biomarkers of life.”
