From the book UFOs and the Complete Evidence from Space:
"Why did a number of American orbiting spacecraft transmit data that
Earth itself is too hot for human life with a deadly atmosphere,
insufficient oxygen, and hostile elements, and then they expect us to
believe their Venus probe data is accurate? Temperatures up to 180*F.
have been recorded in Earth's ionosphere 180 miles up. Could it be
that the NASA official temperature readings on Venus originated in
the Venusian ionosphere."
"The temperatures given to the public from the American and the
Soviet Venus probes contradicted each other by hundreds of degrees,
and the temperatures given off by different American Venus rockets
also were in conflict, proving all this data is very unreliable. If a
probe orbiting Earth sent back a temperature reading of Alaska that
was as conflicting as the Venus data, we could be told it was 200
degrees there in the ice! "
"We were told that the atmosphere of Venus is over 100 times denser
than Earth, so how would it be possible for a parachute to be used to
slow the landing of the Venus craft, when in pressures that great the
space rocket would FLOAT slowly to the surface without the need of a
parachute like boats sink in an ocean? That pressure is like trying
to parachute the spacecraft 2,000 feet to the bottom of the ocean!
Why also did NASA contradict these releases by claiming that a
parachute would not work on the moon Titan, because the atmosphere
there(similar to Venus) is too dense(just like Venus). That data was
in a press release December 12, 1980 with space expert James Murphy. "
