So obviously a mission to Venus to gather additional information should instantly become a top priority. Is there anything already in the works?
I have to wonder if they had contact with these MIT scientists pre-publication and that's what partially spurred this mission.
(RocketLab and Photon seem like a REALLY good platform for low-cost, small planetary missions like this. You can launch a mission for the price of a paper conceptual study and without the constraints of being a secondary payload, which is problematic for planetary missions with their narrow launch windows.)
It's unclear if these missions are currently designed to be able to detect phosphine though.
Which would be terrible... but true to our history when discovering new world.
