Seems likely there is just some unknown chemistry. 16-09-2020 05:44:02 < MidJag!midjag@68.91.zxq.uli: Probably, but if its not then theres going to be some really crazy prokaryotes there which would just be so god damn cool. 16-09-2020 05:44:42 < Devastator!chatzilla@ztzi-5q4eo4va1hey2bh12zi1ohpvh.ipv6.telus.net: Yeah. 16-09-2020 05:44:50 < Devastator!chatzilla@ztzi-5q4eo4va1hey2bh12zi1ohpvh.ipv6.telus.net: the phosphorous on Venus had to go somewhere, after all. 16-09-2020 05:44:59 < Devastator!chatzilla@ztzi-5q4eo4va1hey2bh12zi1ohpvh.ipv6.telus.net: into some species. 16-09-2020 05:45:05 < Devastator!chatzilla@ztzi-5q4eo4va1hey2bh12zi1ohpvh.ipv6.telus.net: chemical species. 16-09-2020 05:45:45 < MidJag!midjag@68.91.zxq.uli: I'm a microbiology major, half oof my major is finding ut we know jack shit about a very large number of micrbioloical organisms, because they dont like being cultured. 16-09-2020 05:46:20 < MidJag!midjag@68.91.zxq.uli: But its entierlly possible venus just has some weird chemistry. 16-09-2020 05:46:29 < MidJag!midjag@68.91.zxq.uli: Its a weird planet. 16-09-2020 05:46:40 < Devastator!chatzilla@ztzi-5q4eo4va1hey2bh12zi1ohpvh.ipv6.telus.net: It's also a planet loaded with proton donors.. 16-09-2020 05:47:55 < MidJag!midjag@68.91.zxq.uli: I mean there are acidophiles.

Thats gotta be depressing designing a probe for venus. "Okay so the probe now is just a tank, whats the survival time? 4 mintues. Damnit" 16-09-2020 05:52:04 < Devastator!chatzilla@ztzi-5q4eo4va1hey2bh12zi1ohpvh.ipv6.telus.net: Yeah, they can't rule out weird chemistry, it's all calculated equilibria, which is mostly accurate, but not wholly accurate.. a thousand reaction conditions sounds like a lot, but you can't exhaust things with a billion. 16-09-2020 05:53:15 < Devastator!chatzilla@ztzi-5q4eo4va1hey2bh12zi1ohpvh.ipv6.telus.net: well, lets get building. How long to get a few relevant probes? 16-09-2020 05:54:38 < MidJag!midjag@68.91.zxq.uli: No idea. My guess 10 years if theres some conclusive data that they need to take a closer look. 16-09-2020 05:56:54 < Devastator!chatzilla@ztzi-5q4eo4va1hey2bh12zi1ohpvh.ipv6.telus.net: I don't know. 16-09-2020 05:57:03 < Devastator!chatzilla@ztzi-5q4eo4va1hey2bh12zi1ohpvh.ipv6.telus.net: I mean you know your probe is gonna get ravaged from the beginning. 16-09-2020 05:57:20 < Devastator!chatzilla@ztzi-5q4eo4va1hey2bh12zi1ohpvh.ipv6.telus.net: I would think that would add a thrill element to probe-building that normally would not be present. 16-09-2020 05:58:33 < MidJag!midjag@68.91.zxq.uli: Thats true. You get to roll the dice on which exact aggressuvelly destructive element of venus destroys it first. 16-09-2020 06:01:36 < MidJag!midjag@68.91.zxq.uli: I guess it would kinda be like sending a probe into like a gas giant. You know its fucked its just a question of how quicklly its fucked. 16-09-2020 06:13:36 < Devastator!chatzilla@ztzi-5q4eo4va1hey2bh12zi1ohpvh.ipv6.telus.net: plus there's a clear high score element, too. 16-09-2020 06:13:43 < Devastator!chatzilla@ztzi-5q4eo4va1hey2bh12zi1ohpvh.ipv6.telus.net: four minutes!
