Is it safe to travel to the planet Venus?

Mi would think that everything in all creation was made for a purpose. There has to be life there right?

    Yes, absolutely. When you return let us know how you got on won't you.

    It's 900 deg and the atmosphere is acid and the pressure crushing.

    They say it is at least 800 degrees on the surface. 

    That's a little too toasty for human life. 

    Plus the air is poisonous.

    Life as we know it wouldn't be able to live there. The surface is hot enough to melt lead.

    There may be life in the upper atmosphere of Venus.  Yes it's safe to travel there but not to land.

    No. People do things for a purpose. Nature does not need a purpose. There doesn't have to be life on Venus. And it is very unlikely to have life. Nothing can survive 900 degree heat.

    Oh no, it's not safe at all. But it could be interesting. At 50-60 kilometers altitude, conditions are fairly earthlike. Similar in terms of temperature and pressure that is, but there's no water and quite a bit more sulfuric acid. Life exists in clouds on Earth, so possibly could do so on Venus as well. That's just a possibility though, not even close to a certainty. Could be worth a look, that's all.

    Not safe. Temperature hot enough to melt lead. No life there, or anywhere else up in space as far as we can tell.

    If you are interested in life, why not go to your local park and save all the trouble. Plenty of life there.

    No. No life.  it is 800 to 900 degrees on the surface and the surface atmospheric pressure would squash you like a bug.  Also no planet was created for any purpose.  No gods of any kind exists

    I have to doubt there'd be life there....  temperatures at the surface reach 900 degrees F, and the atmosphere is very dense, with Carbon Dioxide as the main gas.  It may have been made for a purpose, but I don't think life is that purpose...
