Strangely, there are details in the <meta> description that are missing from the article: "In September 2020, scientists at MIT and Cardiff University announced they had observed what may be signs of life in the clouds of our planetary neighbor, Venus. Their observations indicated the potential presence of phosphine, a gas typically produced by living organisms. In 2023, Rocket Lab is sending the first private mission to Venus to help gather further evidence. The goal, using an Electron launch vehicle and Photon spacecraft, is to send a probe to around 30 miles’ altitude, where Venus’ atmospheric conditions are closer to those found on Earth."
It was in the original version of the article [1]. Maybe they wanted to remove reference to the discredited [2] phosphine story? Maybe that means it's not happening in 2023?
