OceanGate, the manufacturer of the Titan submersible that imploded in the Atlantic Ocean last month, has announced to build a colony on Venus and send 1,000 humans to Venus by the year 2050.

The planet is enveloped in thick yellowish clouds made of sulfuric acid, resulting in extreme heat with surface temperatures reaching up to 900 degrees Fahrenheit (475 degrees Celsius).

Putin said that one of the points in the initiative was a ceasefire. “But the Ukrainian army is on the offensive, they are attacking, they are implementing a large-scale strategic offensive operation… We cannot cease fire when we are under attack.” On the question of starting peace talks, he sa
