It should actually be a rule that if you post those lyrics in space-related threads you get an IP perma

I'm referring to the money itself not the organization. The government funds ALL of these projects. The government spends tons of money on ridiculous research that we do not need.

They're wrong. See this? Images from Russia's Venera probes. The ones that managed to transmit back to us lasted for about an hour before being melted by the heat and crushed by the atmospheric pressure.

That's because the probes went under the clouds and onto the surface before quickly melting. HAVOC would remain above the clouds where it's believed to be habitual by humans - humans could take their pressure suits off above the clouds and adequately live (though not too sure about this, and it would be pretty hot too but far less hot than the surface).
