NASA Vision for Venus: HAVOC Airships, Video

Engineers with NASAs Advanced Concepts Lab at the Langley Research Center in Virginia have dreamed up a wild idea for sending astronauts to Venus. The HAVOC mission (HighAltitude Venus Operational Concept) would send a huge airship crewed by two astronauts to explore Venus from the planets atmosphere. NASA even envisions a potential fleet of airships over Venus, a veritable cloud city. Credit: NASA Langley Research Center
