There was a Fantastic tales episode in the 60s or so (before my time I’m afraid!) depicting a man in a space suit exiting his craft on the surface of a lovely green, watery planet. He was being welcomed by a bunch of odd looking semi-humanoids, dangling their podlings from their knees and pointing to the funny alien.

“Welcome to Venus, earth man”, they said. Well of late, and I know you people will have seen this by now, the Japanese premier’s wife Miyuki Hatoyama has been welcomed by the Venusians too! No way!

Apparently she wrote a book last year depicting her astral journey to Venus on a flying saucer. Maybe she subscribes to the theory that Venus is not actually a scolding 900 °F with a surface pressure 90 times greater than earth...

You see, how could the parachute on the Russian Vanera 7 probe have survived the descent using primitive 70s technology? It would have burned up as it fell to the surface! (Sarcastic grin)

Well chaps, you see it was a journey in her astral body. In your astral body, you can do whatever you want, go wherever you want and make up whatever fantastic journey you want! Bless her.
