Talk about taking the scenic route! 🛸 Soviet Venus probe Kosmos 482 is finally returning home after a 53-year detour around Earth. The 1,000-pound spacecraft might survive reentry intact because it was built for Venus's atmosphere. When you accidentally set your GPS to "extremely long way around" ✨ #SpaceHistory #CosmicComeback

@planet4589 : "When I was a kid 🧒, it was #LEO. Now, the frontier is out near the #asteroid belt, and the #Moon and #Mars are becoming part of where humanity just hangs out, maybe not yet as people, but with #robots. Meanwhile, #LEO is so normalized that it doesn’t take a #SpaceAgency to deal with it. You just call #SpaceX. Thousand years from now, perhaps more people live off Earth 🌌 than on it" https://www.cearkadia.edu.pl/jonathan-mcdowell-on-retiring-from-harvard-and-leaving-the-u-s

NASA’s Voyager 1 is still alive—just barely. Running on dwindling power after 47 years in space, it’s proof that human engineering can outlast generations. Who else thinks this mission deserves its own movie? 🚀🎬 #Voyager1 #SpaceHistory https://www.independent.co.uk/space/nasa-space-twin-voyager-power-b2710017.html
Went down a rabbit hole reading about Venus today and holy damn the Soviets didn't mess around. First pictures of the surface of another planet AND first audio recordings of the surface of another planet?
