Actually, the upper atmosphere of Venus has Earthlike temperature and Earthlike pressure - it is, indeed, pretty much the only planetary location in the Solar System safer enough than deep space to be worth the gravity well (you need a balloon to keep you aloft, oxygenated air, and protection from the sulfuric acid, but Earth air is a lifting gas on Venus so the first two solve each other). So "do not go to Venus" and "nowhere is even close to survivable except Earth" aren't quite true. The ''surface'' of Venus is absurdly inhospitable even to machines, but one shouldn't write off the whole planet so quickly.

The Mars at sunset might also be reference to "alpenglow." A simple Google of "alpenglow" should suffice as explanation 172.68.54.126 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
The explanation starts out saying that this list includes all the other planets in our system as well as a couple moons, however uranus and saturn are clearly left off the list. 108.162.238.37 15:16, 28 October 2016 (UTC)
