A human mission to visit and land on the planet Venus has long been a subject for science fiction writers but there has not been any serious proposals to land humans there. This is because humans have not yet visited Mars, which is far easier place to visit for humans. Some manned Venus fly-by missions have been proposed: one example is TMK. BBC's fictional docudrama, Space Odyssey: Voyage To The Planets, presents a short visit to planet Venus. A crew of two lands near Venera 14 and the probe is visited by a Russian cosmonaut wearing a spacesuit that withstands the high pressure and temperature of the Venusian atmosphere.
