<< Dickenbock Report
On this day in 1970, the first human-made object landed on another planet. Venera 7 made it to Venus & sent the Earth the first information we had about the planet's surface.
Today on the Dickenbock Report, we talk about that little probe & we play lots of music reports about the planet Venus. As well, we'll be talking to an astronaut who plans to go to Venus.
A fitting tribute to earth's twin!
