The Venera program: Interplanetary probes from behind the Iron Curtain
The top image is actually a composite of photos taken of the surface of Venus. As you can discover from the Astronomy Magazine article the Soviet Union spent a lot of time and effort exploring Venus.
The redneck finally got the got! He has been a jerk for as long as he was here.
Got the ZOT!
I think his flame war partners and fellow flame war, raging types, are not so happy about him being gone.
Good point! 😁
But shut up about it or the industry will try to remake or reboot it.
and that makes him a fool
he is usually quite focused. this seems to be a one-off.
That sounds very interesting!
I dont want to mislead you so just in case you decide to pop over...
Online they tend to make it look like a huge event, its actually rather small. If youre interested in art (it came down right in front of what is now the Rahr-West Museum), and watching costume contests in a beer garden you certainly could spend a day but otherwise you might want to plan something along with it for that weekend.
There are a couple of nearby art galleries and museums. A maritime museum with optional tours of a WWII sub and a memorial reflecting for each of those subs. Which came back, which didnt and a brief note about their activity or the way they were lost. There are a couple of more unusual things to see like a museum dedicated to the movable wood type press. Of course there are all the typical Great Lakes opportunities like you have including charter fishing and great beaches. If you drive over via the ferry from Ludington then Whistling Straights is just 20 or so miles away if golf is your kind of thing.
Thank you!!
