8:11Now PlayingIn this episode, Neil deGrasse Tyson, joined by co-host Chuck Nice, interviews planetary scientist David Grinspoon about NASA’s upcoming DAVINCI mission to Venus. Grinspoon explains how the probe will descend through Venus’s extreme sulfuric acid clouds, crushing pressure, and 900°F surface temperatures to collect never-before-measured atmospheric data and capture high-resolution descent images. The main idea of the discussion is that humanity is finally returning to Venus with modern instruments to understand its history, climate evolution, and geological mysteries—amid renewed global space competition.
