@@Shadowborn89The first probes were destroyed quickly by either the intense gravity or the intense heat. What’s left of the probes is still on the surface of Venus, but we have no contact with them. The environmental forces may have had a toll on them given this was many decades ago.
The atmospheric pressure on Venus is 90 times that of Earth and also temperatures of over 400C. I wonder how long the probe lasted before being crushed and melted in that searing heat.

I love how you can hear the sounds of the probe performing its operations as well. It was downright eerie, frankly. Think about it: nothing but the sound of wind and occasional cracks of thunder for billions of years, then suddenly the gasp of jets, the thud of a lens cap being jettisoned, and finally a mechanical drill roars and groans as it penetrates the rocks; the first sounds of mankind on that alien world.

It wasn't minimised back then. In the 80s, Soviet space tech was still seen as an equal to that of US space tech - if perhaps not quite as lavishly funded. But the Venera program was essentially towards the end of the road for the great Russian achievements on the high frontier. Mir was the last big show-piece, and after the wall fell, Roscosmos was reduced either to an ISS taxi service, or cooperative partner in other agency's ventures. Not to say these were not valuable roles, but increasingly the towering landmarks in space exploration entering the 21st century were going to NASA, ESA and JAXA with Roscosmos getting ever smaller walk-on parts. Regarding the last decade or so, after years of funding cuts and brain-drain, Roscosmos are now on the verge of becoming an international joke. I find it deeply saddening to watch Roscosmos reduced to the equivalent of some old hobo on a street corner, showing off his old war medals in an attempt to get money for a hot meal. Even with my strong dislike of the current political regime in Russia, I wish they'd treat what was once one of the most heroic and cutting edge orgs of the 20th century with some proper respect. So yes, I guess anyone in the west who's not old enough to have lived in an era when Soviet triumphs in space were still major headlines in the papers (so in their 40s or older I suppose), they probably will start to be surprised at the sheer magnitude of their contributions.
not to mention that atmosphere is pure sulfuric acid gas with pressure like being 1 km under sea water. try to use parachute for landing in such condition.

@@acelegal3854 No, it's because in those days almost no news of any kind came out of the Soviet Union. They were very secretive and let very little of what went on inside the country be known.

Yes I agree it's a time of marvels..but I hope they can send humans to Mars , in my lifetime, I'm 60 starting to think I will not see it in my lifetime..
I never thought about the element of sound in space exploration, but it is important. It gives you more of a feel for what it's like on the surface of Venus. This is way cool!!
How cool for you to have a part of your dad live on like this! My dad, now passed away, also, worked on the LEM for Apollo missions. I know that I was greatly affected in my attitudes and thinking by my dad’s participation in the pursuit of off-world knowledge. Do you feel the same for yourself?
The Soviets had some really impressive achievements in Space. Beyond the scientific data gathered to simply hear the sounds of another planet is just awe-inspiring.
@@VarietyGamerChannel healthcare is a service not a right you liberal piece of shit. Also there's literally healthcare clinics and almost every job has health insurance so there goes your stupid opinion right there.
Other than the sounds of drilling, I’m loving the sound of Venusian wind. No people, no drama, just solitude. I would love this. If only the atmosphere was breathable and not too close to the sun.
It’s not the closeness to the sun. It’s hotter than Mercury! It’s hot because of runaway climate change. Volcanoes caused it. It was a temperate planet. Like us. It took only about 10,000 years for our sister planet to boil off its oceans. Then the sun took over. Our planet is hurrying towards the fate. It’s too late already.
I haven’t even travelled far beyond my region of the United States where I live. The fact that I’m listening to winds and sounds on a whole other planet is blowing my mind.
You should travel outside the USA, and if you can't, watch as many videos from other countries as you can. The world is big and incredibly diverse. Culturally and spiritually.
I travel for work and it’s taught me one thing. I don’t want to leave the US anymore. It has everything we need right here. I can’t wait to come home every time I leave.
Imagine you're a Venus inhabitant. Enjoying the quiet breeze of your planet, and then some annoying earthling sends a Roomba with a power drill to make noise and steal some dirt. Lol
Fun fact: The camera lens was covered by a lens cap to be popped off after descent. By mischance, a part of the lens cap ended up just the place where the probe craned down to measure the soil, so Venera 14 measured the compressibility of the lens caps instead.
@AutismusPrime69 The parentheses you put around planets has me entirely convinced you are about to say something incredibly silly and I am going to prod just to see what you were planning to say.
What we are "hearing" is 9x% distortion and interference in the radio signal, and not the "wind on the surface of Venus". It is whatever they could get from tuning into the radio frequency that they expected the probe to be sending on. Assuming that the microphone survived the landing, the winds and heat would almost guarantee it to be picking up nothing but distortion due to overloading.
This is wild. I never knew there was an actual sound recording. Someday a probe capable of withstanding the Venusian atmosphere would give us groundbreaking knowledge
That's absolutely right. Many people don't seem to be aware of that fact. The simple act of walking on the surface would be more strenuous than it is on earth - for exactly the same reason. I've seen photographic comparisons of pics that were taken by Venera 13 - during its very brief life - which show soil ( "kicked up" onto the rather wide base of the probe by its impact with the ground ) which has been blown/shifted around, from one spot on the base (or stabilizing "ring") to another. And the difference between photos that were taken only minutes apart, is quite obvious. Anyway, thank you for your comments. Peace. 👍🏾🙂
The wind may be a gentle *speed* at the surface, but given that it's nearly 100x as dense, you'd have trouble standing up against the force it exerted.
I don't think so. The density would be pushing you from all sides. It'll be like standing up deep under our ocean. You'd easily be able to do it. It's planets like Jupiter and Saturn that has insanely large gravity - that's where you'd have trouble standing (if you could).
@@Cujo5 density doesn't push you, pressure does. And that is not how it works anyways. 30 km/h wind on earth can sway trunks of small trees, but that's it. Now imagine river with a current speed of 30 km/h. You won't be able to swim against it
The atmosphere is so dense that it's probably (in parts) a supercritical fluid. If you could stand on Venus, you'd possibly be able to wave you arms side to side and see ripples and distorted air currents because of that density. With such a thick and complex atmosphere, there's nit reason at present to assume winds don't get going on Venus. Thought if storms and wind were more regular, you'd think the surface would appear more weathered and smooth? I'm no geologist. But from what I understand is that for millions and millions if years of periodic weather, the atmosphere density and pressure would be slightly similar to water erosion and weathering. Meaning if we could explore the surface more, we'd probably encounter very unusual rocky pillars that have been carved away, like stacks in the oceans of Earth maybe. Its a truly fascinating planet and although a lot of media attention goes on Mars, I think (for me) Venus being so similar to Earth is truly too interesting planet to simply give up exploring because it is too difficult.
I've been obsessed with astronomy and everything it has to offer. I've always fantasized about what it would be like to have the ability to go to each planet and see what it's actually like as in stepping foot onto them. Even though the environment may be harsh it still is absolutely fascinating to think about
It sort of dawned on me after listening to this that of the several billions of people on earth, not even 1% will have heard the sounds of another planet yet.
@@undertoe3730 I would bet it is waaaay less than 1%.. Probably closer to like 0.0000001%!! There are just tons of ignoramuses on this planet, unfortunately.
There is, somewhere, a NASA audio recording of Martian wind. That is also kewl. I think is more kewl though... You know, with all this talk about stopping climate change, WHAT IF we could reverse the greenhouse effect on Venus? Some sort of mass conversion of its carbon dioxide and sulfuric acid atmosphere into something that allows heat to escape? Lower the temperature planet-wide.
@@joelb2297 Venus would have certain advantages over Mars in terms of gravity, warmth and atmospheric density. But, man, what an undertaking that would be to alter the climate of that planet!
@@cognitivescience9924 Exactly, it's why despite being further away from the sun, Venus is far hotter than Mercury. The gasses trap the heat on Venus while the barely there atmosphere of Mercury hardly holds any heat.
@@azazelsiad3601 here on earth a hotter planet would mean a greener planet because we are covered with water and desert regions would be forest and grass lands again also once harsh tundra would be lush farm land
The most impressive part is remembering that all of this stuff is happening on a different fucking planet. All of this stuff was automated, programmed long long long before it ever happened. After an interplanetary journey involving an insane amount of incredibly difficult feats. How incredible!
Getting planet to planet is the impressive part, the robotic drilling is less impressive. The machine is impressive, but programming automated stuff is easy.
Don’t you just love when you are listening to a unique recording taken from another planet and suddenly your ears get slammed by some commercial add courtesy of UA-cam. Ahh the magic of the mysterious and the unknown brought to you by Uber Eats.
@@scrimmo Why would I want to pay for a platform that censors and demonetizes content creators for the stupidest reasons? The problem is the way those randomly inserted adds appear, not the fact they exist which I obviously understand.
The average daytime temperature is around 900F, which is hot enough to melt lead. So that's not too far off. The atmosphere is comprised of what basically amounts to battery acid. It's so thick and soupy that it blocks much of the ambient sunlight coming in; that's one of the prevailing reasons why studying it requires relatively newer technologies like radar mapping, and the occasional probe. While not much solar energy gets in, what **does** get in remains largely trapped, which creates a "runaway wet greenhouse" effect. The unusually high rate of volcanic activity continually belches more sulphur and other elements into the existing atmosphere. Atmospheric pressure is 92-95 times that of Earth; walking around the surface would be like diving over a half a mile into one of the major oceans. A 4 mph wind blowing along the surface would knock you flat. The Soviet Venera program was attended by a laundry list of engineering failures that caused some of the probes to crash-land, damaging them. Some only sent data back for a few minutes, and the first couple probes with cameras experienced failures of the lens cap to detach. Though the info was useful designing hardier probes that later landed successfully. Of those that soft-landed and operated, I think the longest-surviving one remained functional for approximately two hours...which was better than expected.
I always loved stuff like this as a kid. I would watch whatever space documentaries I could and yet I have never heard of this until today. It's all about the Hubble or the James Webb telescopes, the International Space Station and pictures from much deeper into the universe. But it's the stuff closer to home that's really amazing. I knew Venus had an extremely high pressure atmosphere and was replete with greenhouse gases, but I had never heard of the Russians making a success of actually landing probes on its surface. The wind sounds a lot calmer than one would expect and the yellow background suggests a high presence of sulphur in the air. All this during the 70's and 80's, just imagine what we could do with the technology available to us now.
While i was hearing what the probe recorded, i heard a dog barking and i literally freaked out, but then i realized that what i was hearing was actually my neighbor's dog and not a bark coming from the video
You never heard of the Great Soviet Cosmonaut Spotevsky II? He piloted the Venera all by himself with a holographic projection of a squirrel running towards Venus.
this is actually the most mindblowing thing i ever heard and experienced when it comes to space travel. its one thing to see images and videos, but its always just on a screen, somewhat passive. but hearing it is just such a proper real experience as if you were actually there. i cant wrap my head around it. i cant believe i am actually listening to this
The background noise sounds similar to that of passive sonar recordings in earth's oceans. Makes sense since Venus' atmo is so dense. It's closer to the density of underwater ocean than air above the surface of earth.
yep, it's hard to imagine given that 1982 was year when ZX Spectrum has launched.. with 128 kb memory in it's strongest version. And still they were able of such achievements.
They say we landed on the moon 50 years ago. Give or take, the moon is 250,000 miles away. Since then, all manned 'space missions' are at 250 miles away.
Glad the drill was there: sounds exactly like a normal drill and serves as a control to the rest of the recording. The venus atmosphere sounds like ocean surf which is I guess unsurprising since it their atmosphere is 100x as dense as ours. Ocean surf all the time, everywhere.
@@nikanikova9759 не Россия, а СССР, у современной России какие достижения в космосе?

They should have made a bigger deal about this here in the US. I don’t remember hearing anything about this at the time. Achievements of this magnitude should be celebrated by all.
The first time i saw the images of the admittedly limited view of the surface of venus, i was transfixed for an hour staring at it. The eeriness made my skin crawl. I've brought up the images a few times after, and i was sucked in again. Looking at it and knowing that NO one has ever stood there. Prior to these images ,no one has even ever seen it. Imagining standing there produced a feeling of existential loneliness. I feel like I'm being granted a hint of what oblivion might be like. 🥶😰
I was expecting the winds to be fierce, with as hot as it is there. Very surprised they were calm. Thank you for the opportunity to hear the sounds of the surface.
the biggest contributor to wind is differences in temperature. since venus has a mostly uniform temperature spread there isnt much convection going on compared to earth where you have extremely hot and extremely cold places.
Venus has fierce winds indeed.. but in the upper layers of atmosphere. If I remember correctly on the surface it's ~1-2m/s at most although it's kinda hot and dense in there so choose your next after-lockdown vacation wisely )))
Friend: cool....anyways! want to come to this party and get wasted? me: nahhhh....i think i will stay in and listen to venus being drilled. friend: 😳....🤔....can i come over?
CO2 is too thick that sounds travel slower than average. Venus lacks oxygen/ hydrogen component in the atmosphere and has more CO2. The sound that you heard are not the true sound.
It's amazing to think about-that after an untold length of time, the sounds of a drill breaks the the ambiance of the desolate world. This audio is like a photo of a boot print on the moon. It fires the imagination.
Я из СССР, и с детства знаю об экспедициях Советских автоматических станций на Венеру, не раз видел фотографии из этой миссии, но реальный звук с поверхности слышу впервые. Где вы это нашли? Спасибо!👍
What's blowing my mind is that when this recording happened, I was 14 years old and we were still deep in the cold war - I lived my whole childhood and teenaged years wondering who was going to start the war that would lead to both sides dropping nukes and killing us all. It's so weird & wonderful that something that would have been ultra top secret is now available to anyone with internet access. When we fight, curiosity & knowledge suffer, when we co-operate curiosity & knowledge thrive. Three cheers for co-operation... 🤸♀️😊
Trouble not, for under the wise leadership of Donald Trump and Mike Pompeo, you would soon be in another cold war, cold war 2.0 with the Chinese. Isn't it fun eh?
@@ro1t : That's been one of my greatest fears for the past 4 years - that he would blunder his way into starting WW3 or a new cold war. I'm glad my faith in the American people was well placed. In January, we'll have a president who has almost 50 years of experience (& with NO scandals, either personal or professional, in all those years). He & Vice-President elect Harris both understand that even the 2 highest offices in the country are not about power over everyone else, they're about serving the country & making it stronger & more prosperous by helping people & caring for people who can't care for themselves. (I'm talking about children, the disabled, the elderly, & people who are in need because of something beyond their control, not people who just don't want to work).
Truly incredible. Sounds never heard before from an alien world, for the first time listened to by us who sent a probe there. This gives me a sense of awe.
In reality you are travelling all the time although not in the sense we notice. You are rotating on the surface of Earth at about 1000mph, orbiting the sun at around 64,000mph and though the galaxy at 115,000mph.
@@HowardKlein1958Yes. I know the first time I had this spelled out it was also a nice mind-blowing moment. But for me this is older news. But of course still amazing. The audio from Venus, well that's the first time I heard that in coming upon the video.
I’m so glad to be alive for this, I can’t wait until, hopefully, people set aside their differences and we get off of this rock and out there. Space has always amazed and intrigued me, just like the history we are still uncovering of our own planet. Because we could find something that changes what we know.

What we are "hearing" is 9x% distortion and interference in the radio signal, and not the "wind on the surface of Venus".
It is whatever they could get from tuning into the radio frequency that they expected the probe to be sending on.
Assuming that the microphone survived the landing, the winds and heat would almost guarantee it to be picking up nothing but distortion due to overloading.
This is wild. I never knew there was an actual sound recording. Someday a probe capable of withstanding the Venusian atmosphere would give us groundbreaking knowledge

Remember flat earther and anti vaxxer?
Being an audio engineer for the last 44 years, I find this absolutely fascinating.
Makes you wonder if there's any yodas or ewoks living up there. Or a bar like the one on tatooweenie.
The atmospheric density makes that "calm" windspeed like the equivalent of a river of that speed on earth
That's absolutely right. Many people don't seem to be aware of that fact. The simple act of walking on the surface would be more strenuous than it is on earth - for exactly the same reason. I've seen photographic comparisons of pics that were taken by Venera 13 - during its very brief life - which show soil ( "kicked up" onto the rather wide base of the probe by its impact with the ground ) which has been blown/shifted around, from one spot on the base (or stabilizing "ring") to another. And the difference between photos that were taken only minutes apart, is quite obvious. Anyway, thank you for your comments. Peace. 👍🏾🙂
The wind may be a gentle *speed* at the surface, but given that it's nearly 100x as dense, you'd have trouble standing up against the force it exerted.
I don't think so. The density would be pushing you from all sides. It'll be like standing up deep under our ocean. You'd easily be able to do it. It's planets like Jupiter and Saturn that has insanely large gravity - that's where you'd have trouble standing (if you could).
You're thinking of the force of gravity, pressure is more like your whole body being squeezed.
@@Cujo5 read it again, you didn't understand. I'm not talking about gravity or pressure.
@@Cujo5 density doesn't push you, pressure does. And that is not how it works anyways. 30 km/h wind on earth can sway trunks of small trees, but that's it. Now imagine river with a current speed of 30 km/h. You won't be able to swim against it
The atmosphere is so dense that it's probably (in parts) a supercritical fluid. If you could stand on Venus, you'd possibly be able to wave you arms side to side and see ripples and distorted air currents because of that density.
With such a thick and complex atmosphere, there's nit reason at present to assume winds don't get going on Venus. Thought if storms and wind were more regular, you'd think the surface would appear more weathered and smooth?
I'm no geologist. But from what I understand is that for millions and millions if years of periodic weather, the atmosphere density and pressure would be slightly similar to water erosion and weathering. Meaning if we could explore the surface more, we'd probably encounter very unusual rocky pillars that have been carved away, like stacks in the oceans of Earth maybe.
Its a truly fascinating planet and although a lot of media attention goes on Mars, I think (for me) Venus being so similar to Earth is truly too interesting planet to simply give up exploring because it is too difficult.
The sound is out of the world

The fifties, 60, 70, 80s, were extremely exciting for space exploration, especially for the US and CCCP space programs.
It sort of dawned on me after listening to this that of the several billions of people on earth, not even 1% will have heard the sounds of another planet yet.
And of that 1% how many actually cared enough to listen...with their eyes closed and imagining what that planet is truly like and MARVELING at it....

@Josip Mušan LMAO
The average daytime temperature is around 900F, which is hot enough to melt lead. So that's not too far off.
The atmosphere is comprised of what basically amounts to battery acid. It's so thick and soupy that it blocks much of the ambient sunlight coming in; that's one of the prevailing reasons why studying it requires relatively newer technologies like radar mapping, and the occasional probe.
While not much solar energy gets in, what **does** get in remains largely trapped, which creates a "runaway wet greenhouse" effect. The unusually high rate of volcanic activity continually belches more sulphur and other elements into the existing atmosphere.
Atmospheric pressure is 92-95 times that of Earth; walking around the surface would be like diving over a half a mile into one of the major oceans. A 4 mph wind blowing along the surface would knock you flat.
The Soviet Venera program was attended by a laundry list of engineering failures that caused some of the probes to crash-land, damaging them. Some only sent data back for a few minutes, and the first couple probes with cameras experienced failures of the lens cap to detach. Though the info was useful designing hardier probes that later landed successfully.
Of those that soft-landed and operated, I think the longest-surviving one remained functional for approximately two hours...which was better than expected.

I knew Venus had an extremely high pressure atmosphere and was replete with greenhouse gases, but I had never heard of the Russians making a success of actually landing probes on its surface. The wind sounds a lot calmer than one would expect and the yellow background suggests a high presence of sulphur in the air. All this during the 70's and 80's, just imagine what we could do with the technology available to us now.

Knowing how dense the atmosphere is, it kind of makes sense that the conditions are calm. Generally speaking, it is harder for dense fluids to flow.
the biggest contributor to wind is differences in temperature.
since venus has a mostly uniform temperature spread there isnt much convection going on compared to earth where you have extremely hot and extremely cold places.
Thank the USSR
Venus has fierce winds indeed.. but in the upper layers of atmosphere. If I remember correctly on the surface it's ~1-2m/s at most although it's kinda hot and dense in there so choose your next after-lockdown vacation wisely )))
Friend: "Whatcha listening to bro?"
Me: "Oh, just the surface of Venus. You've probably never heard of it."
My favorite tracks are:
1. Acid Rain
2. Scorching Heat
3. Last breath
@@bluemamba5317 lmao
lowkey surface of venus is a sick band name
Friend: cool....anyways! want to come to this party and get wasted?
me: nahhhh....i think i will stay in and listen to venus being drilled.
friend: 😳....🤔....can i come over?
@@hw_yozoraVODS kinda like Rings of Saturn?
I'm surprised we can't hear any lightning cracks, you would imagine a planet enveloped in constant cloud cover would have lots of lightning
You didn’t hear them? There were spread throughout
2:41 is probably one
@@sneedlybased3251 That was the probe landing.
CO2 is too thick that sounds travel slower than average. Venus lacks oxygen/ hydrogen component in the atmosphere and has more CO2. The sound that you heard are not the true sound.
@@sneedlybased3251 It´s literally saying VENERA 14 LANDING during that noise
Wow It is incredible and it is scary to imagine being in that place and knowing that there is no one and nothing and only hear the wind
Wow. I didn't know we sent anything to Venus, that's crazy. It's the hottest planet in our solar system, I'm sure the probe melted in a few days.
Few hours!
Yea the surface looks pretty cool too
USSR sent there two ships yet in 70- th
Venera 11: 95 minutes no camera footage/ 12: 110 minutes no camera footage/ 13: 127 minutes, pictures /14: 57 minutes, pictures
@@pearlvision7156 They sent 14 or 15 until the eighties.
It's amazing to think about-that after an untold length of time, the sounds of a drill breaks the the ambiance of the desolate world. This audio is like a photo of a boot print on the moon. It fires the imagination.
Only Russians could make an interplanetary probe that looks like a moonshine still.
That's how they smuggled it out of the Appalachian Mountain Range.
Reminds me of Krikket 1 from Life, The universe, and everything
Its one of its base functions
Yes, but it worked, didn't it?
@@andrews582 Several times, with different missions, yes
Я из СССР, и с детства знаю об экспедициях Советских автоматических станций на Венеру, не раз видел фотографии из этой миссии, но реальный звук с поверхности слышу впервые. Где вы это нашли? Спасибо!👍
Надеюсь не наебалово но и вправду кайф
What's blowing my mind is that when this recording happened, I was 14 years old and we were still deep in the cold war - I lived my whole childhood and teenaged years wondering who was going to start the war that would lead to both sides dropping nukes and killing us all. It's so weird & wonderful that something that would have been ultra top secret is now available to anyone with internet access. When we fight, curiosity & knowledge suffer, when we co-operate curiosity & knowledge thrive. Three cheers for co-operation... 🤸♀️😊
That was a great story 👏🏾👏🏾💕
Cool story bro (srs)
Agreed. Co-operation is the way forward, war is the way back.
Trouble not, for under the wise leadership of Donald Trump and Mike Pompeo, you would soon be in another cold war, cold war 2.0 with the Chinese. Isn't it fun eh?
@@ro1t : That's been one of my greatest fears for the past 4 years - that he would blunder his way into starting WW3 or a new cold war. I'm glad my faith in the American people was well placed. In January, we'll have a president who has almost 50 years of experience (& with NO scandals, either personal or professional, in all those years). He & Vice-President elect Harris both understand that even the 2 highest offices in the country are not about power over everyone else, they're about serving the country & making it stronger & more prosperous by helping people & caring for people who can't care for themselves. (I'm talking about children, the disabled, the elderly, & people who are in need because of something beyond their control, not people who just don't want to work).
Among the wind, a voice: "Hey Vsauce, Michael here. Nothing can live on Venus… or can it?"
I actually wouldn't be surprised
Among SUS REFERENCE 😳😳😂😂😳!!1!1 SUS imPo 😳 ster 😂😂
Underrated comment
Hey, Vsauce made his new yt channel named HowToBasic and HowToBasic2
amogus?
Truly incredible. Sounds never heard before from an alien world, for the first time listened to by us who sent a probe there. This gives me a sense of awe.
In reality you are travelling all the time although not in the sense we notice. You are rotating on the surface of Earth at about 1000mph, orbiting the sun at around 64,000mph and though the galaxy at 115,000mph.
@@HowardKlein1958Yes. I know the first time I had this spelled out it was also a nice mind-blowing moment. But for me this is older news. But of course still amazing.
The audio from Venus, well that's the first time I heard that in coming upon the video.
I’m so glad to be alive for this, I can’t wait until, hopefully, people set aside their differences and we get off of this rock and out there. Space has always amazed and intrigued me, just like the history we are still uncovering of our own planet. Because we could find something that changes what we know.
Nothing like a good old existential crisis.
I live here bro what’s up?
You got me, holy crap
Timelapse of the future
same thing happens when i watch robot movies replacing humans.
There is 80 people who did not like the video. I really don't get it. We're they expecting an alien to do a stand up comedy show or something? 😂😂
This was amazing just to hear another world. I loved it!!!
Narcissists think the success of others, makes them look bad.
upstaged NASA boffins from that era most likely
they wait Thanos appear and dancing
Probably flat earthers
All of the flat earthers 🤣
"Woah, so thats what venus sounds like its almost kinda calming and-"
The drill: AAAAAAAAAAAAA
First time im hearing the sound of Venusian wind...again i never seen this online so far, thanks for bringing it to us
I was not expecting to hear Liberty Mutual on Venus of all places.
"We've been meaning to reach you about your cars extended warranty"
OMG! NNOO!!! lol but yes so glad to hear i’m not the only one who gets those calls!!! yes! yes! like Venus i’m not alone!
@RedLeader is that a vlog creations reference lol ?😂😂
You funny
Underrated
Definitely didn't wake up today thinking I'd be listening to what it sounds like on Venus, yet, here i am! Awesome!
