DragonKing Dark: Bionic Man vs. Venus Death Probe
This week on DragonKing Dark, host Karl Stern looks back at a series of popular Six Million Dollar Man TV episodes featuring a Soviet Venus probe that malfunctioned and landed in the United States and went on a terror spree. The Venus death probe was indestructible — built to withstand the harsh conditions of the planet Venus. Then we will look at the reality behind the Venus probe, including Russia’s actual successful landing of a probe on Venus, the only pictures from its nightmarish surface, and some really cool information about the hell world that is Venus.
