Ever is a long time.

Anybody heard the theory that the best place in the solar system to try to colonize is way high up in the atmosphere of Venus? Apparently there's a "goldilocks zone" way up above the hell planet. We've even seen what appears to be the chemical by-products of something having a metabolism there. I'm sure there's vigorous debate about that, but it's an intriguing idea, that something alive on Venus is living up in the clouds.

Had to look up bitd.
I wonder if they really quit 40 years ago.
I got a kick out of the design survival times. 

I still consider landing on Venus to be one of the most absolutely nuts things humanity has ever accomplished. It's still flabbergasting to me that engineers were able to crack that.

The James Webb telescope is about 1.5 million kilometers (1 million miles) away from Earth, in the 2nd Lagrange point, L2. From my understanding, if something went wrong with it, we couldn't even get to that place to fix it. It traveled out there, perfectly situated itself, and unfolded a series of paper-thin metal foils to shield any residual heat from the sun that is sneaking into Earth's shadow. It operates at -233 celcius (-388 fahrenheit), a temperature that doesn't interfere with it seeing deep into the infrared wavelengths, where REALLY OLD things are sending extremely red-shifted light. And that's not even the craziest thing happening. We've got things like LIGO detecting GRAVITY WAVES.

Everything we know is indicating that the universe is about 68% dark energy, 27% dark matter, and 5% everything else. We don't know what dark matter or dark energy is, so the sum of our knowledge does a pretty good job at describing only 5% of the universe. This is one of the craziest facts to me. 95% of everything is completely unknown and mysterious.
