Life on Venus?

[Scotius]

Glycine appears to be fairly widespread.

From Wikipedia:

"The presence of glycine outside the earth was confirmed in 2009, based on the analysis of samples that had been taken in 2004 by the NASA spacecraft Stardust from comet Wild 2 and subsequently returned to earth. Glycine had previously been identified in the Murchison meteorite in 1970.^[35] The discovery of cometary glycine bolstered the theory of panspermia, which claims that the "building blocks" of life are widespread throughout the Universe.^[36] In 2016, detection of glycine within Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko by the Rosetta spacecraft was announced"

The importance of the phosphine wasn't that it was there, it was that it was there *despite being frequently destroyed*. I'd imagine glycine would be unstable for the same reasons phosphine is. Assuming that's the case, the fact that it's common is pretty irrelevant

2021 fiscal year is almost over, 2022 to begin.

Venusian lobby in NASA seems having a serious support.

First - the missions instead of Triton, now - the phosphine to fund these missions.

Less phosphine than previously thought, or none at all, based on SOFIA observations.
