Epic photo. Saw a documentary about the girl.

It was in every history schoolbook I think I read and some funny sod had drawn a speech bubble on everyone.

In the early 60s all the way through to the late 70s, when Nasa were concentrating on Mars, culminating with their Viking missions, the Russian space agency was concentrating on Venus, I think they were called the Molniya missions (but I'm probably wrong on that). It would be kind to say that these missions had varying degrees of success. Most of the earlier missions failed completely, many of them even failed to leave Earth, but by the mid 70s they were regularly landing their probes on the surface of Venus.

Sailors on nearby ships said body parts of R.N.sailors were flying through the air and landing on their decks and on their upper superstructure and they had to remove them!
