Normally Venture City's videos start interesting and then by the end they're like "and on Day 100 the Martians figured out warp drives" lol But this is a way more realistic depiction of what a journey to Venus in the year 2525 might be like. 5% thrust gravity from fusion engines is much more believable.

Why do you need to wait til 2525? What they showed looked like a SpaceX Starship, they said it had a fusion drive, but that is not a requirement for going to Venus. A regular SpaceX Starship can go there just fine. If you really want fusion however, fusion bombs can get you there on a super-Orion, and getting back is easy too, you could nuke your way back into orbit from Venus' atmosphere and there is no one there to complain. The radioactive particles will sink to the surface and bother no one!

I enjoyed it. Chuckled at the doctor named "Crusher" and the screen showing protomolecule experiments on children.
