EXCERPT: . . . At 60 kilometers (36 miles) in altitude, temperatures and atmospheric pressures are similar to Earth's. The right ingredients for life, including carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen-rich molecules, are all abundant. Ultraviolet photos of Venus display "dark patches," which Harold Morowitz and Carl Sagan suggested could indicate microorganisms. A zeppelin filled with breathable air would "float" at this altitude, making investigative missions feasible. Above the cloud-tops, Venus has been called a "paradise planet." NASA has proposed a mission devoted to human settlements there, HAVOC: the High Altitude Venus Operational Concept.
