Life on Venus?

To clarify, it would be microbial life (most likely).
Still, would obviously be a huge discovery for mankind... it just wouldn’t be that shocking imo.
To me, I think there’s some sort of microbial life at least somewhere else in the solar system, whether on a planet or a moon. I wish we could see in the oceans on titan.

I wonder if there's any chance Venus could have been contaminated by one of the early Soviet or American missions -- atmospheric probes, landers, crashes, etc.
I don’t think any life that could have been transported from earth could survive a millisecond on Venus, much less long enough to give off signatures of life being present. Something from an article I read on it is that to often they get looking for life that looks or acts like life on Earth. We only have our point of reference and the human mind may not have the capacity to even envision the other forms life can come in.
And I’m sort of in the same camp as Msubulldogfan1. Forget intelligent life, but with billions to trillions of stars out there with most of them having planets of their own, if life is possible in one place then it’s almost a mathematical certainty that it is found elsewhere. I’m just not convinced it’s Venus with its toxic terrain. But life has been found on Earth in places scientists thought impossible, in some of the noxious geysers in Yellowstone, in lakes of Sulfuric acid on volcanoes in Africa, and 7 miles below the ocean surface in and around geothermal vents.

Best estimates are between 200 billion and two trillion GALAXIES (not stars) in our universe....and this number keeps moving (upward) as our cosmic mapping ability is enhanced by new technologies......just as a point of reference the Milky Way has an estimated 200 to 400 billion stars, and is about 200,000 light years in diameter.

Yep, spot on, and I don't think it's contamination either. The pressure on the surface of Venus is about the same as it is at 3000 feet underwater on Earth. There's life at that depth on Earth, and lower as well, but it's all swimming around. The surface of Venus is hot enough to melt lead. Presumably the "life" being talked about on Venus is in the atmosphere, but that's a pretty hostile place too.
And when you add in the fact that asteroids are basically seeds transporting carbon to every nook and cranny in the universe, there’s probably microbial life that’s evolved all over our galaxy, and every other galaxy.
Remember the guys in the '50s who supposedly traveled to Venus in flying saucers? Of course, the Venusians were always blonde and beautiful. Valiant Thor, a Venusian, reportedly came to Earth to straighten us out and worked with the Pentagon. George Adamski was chosen by Venusian Orthon as an earthly contactee. 
I struggle with why we care if there is a microbial life on Venus. Why does this matter and why is nasa saying we should spend taxpayer dollars to figure this out?
Well, dogeater, the Milky Way is what we call a “TROPHY galaxy” - so, yeah, it’s...pretty big...???...
Well it’s as much what we might can learn from it and the pursuit of looking for it than just does/did it exist. The fact that only a finite number of men have stepped on the moon has little to do with our every day lives. But the technology that grew from that pursuit affects us all greatly. Taking computing power, without exploring the moon there may have never been a sps.
The Pentagon did recently release information and footage of aircraft not known to be of this planet.
Not unrelated, the Bob Lazar documentary that came out this year is worth checking out. Seems like there may've been a thread on it a few months ago.

I have a hiking shirt that says “Never stop exploring.” That ethos is a good enough reason for me. It’s sometimes hard to quantify the benefits of the space program, but if we stop looking towards the horizon, we can become stagnant at home.
That level in the clouds (50km above the ground) is most the most earth like conditions on Venus. https://www.universetoday.com/15570/colonizing-venus-with-floating-cities/
Perhaps they've been focused on uranus? The article states that they've been "...ignoring Venus...".
Somebody really went through and downvoted every post in this thread? I'm assuming it's a flat earther.
They just sent an image from our satellite of life on venus

Maybe we can send AOC and Gavin Newsom over there to check out the greenhouse gases!!!
