NASA's Latest Venus Probe Concept Looks Like a Tim Burton Creation


Everyone forgets about Venus because it’s not Mars. Or Saturn. Or Jupiter, for that matter. Or, maybe it’s because Venus is a toxic wasteland. Still, the second planet from the Sun deserves a little more credit than it currently gets. Recently, a team of researchers NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory dropped their latest design for a “clockwork” rover they hope will explore Venus—and the concept art is delightfully twisted.

So far, the most robust probes have lasted barely a couple of hours on the hellish surface of Venus. This seems a very interesting, radical departure from previous attempts.
