Molly O’Shea(@MollySOShea):Rocket Lab CEO @Peter_J_Beck is sending the first private mission to Venus to search for life off Earth. "That's one of the biggest questions as a human species that we can answer. Are we the only ones in the universe or not?" Why Venus? He says it's because Venus has a unique cloud layer about 50km in, that in theory, could support some kind of life: "There's been traces of phosphine gas found in there. Phosphine gas only comes from organic symbiosis. So the mission is to go there and actually see if we can detect life."
