Rocket Lab is upgrading their kick stage to send a potential mission to Venus, making it by far the smallest rocket capable of interplanetary flight. But what kind of a useful payload might they be able to bring to the boiling hot planet of sulfuric acid that Venus is? Could it actually carry a useful payload? Let's talk about it!

Video and images taken per fair use from Rocket Lab, Northrop Grumman, ESA, and NASA.
