NASA gets a billion dollars to probe Venus again

The video discusses two new missions to Venus, funded by the Biden administration, set to launch between 2028 and 2030. The da Vinci Plus mission aims to study Venus's atmosphere and its potential past ocean, while the Veritas mission will map the planet's surface to understand its geological history and current activity. Venus, the hottest planet in the solar system, was last visited by the Magellan orbiter in 1990, though other flybys have occurred since.
