In his "Cosmos" television series, Carl Sagan observed that of all the worlds in our solar system, Venus is most like the traditional Christian notion of hell. The scorching heat, the crushing atmospheric pressure, the noxious atmosphere. The rocks on the surface, he said, are semi-molten and sluggishly flow. One would almost expect to see a fellow with red skin and a pointed tail clutching a pitchfork.
