Scientists are now urging NASA and other space organisations to deploy humans to Venus before Mars..
Some experts think it would be smarter to visit Earth's other nearby planet first.
In 2022, during the International Astronautical Congress, the idea was initially put forth.
Johns Hopkins University professor Noam Izenberg, who is also the co-chair of the Venus Exploration Analysis Group, first proposed the idea of a fly-by.
According to Izenberg, sending humans to Venus should come before a trip to Mars.
