But a\u0026nbsp;privately funded mission to Venus is\u0026nbsp;expected to launch in 2023. Privately funded interplanetary missions could fundamentally change how science is done, opening the door to new avenues of exploration. The Venus mission is\u0026nbsp;planned by scientists from Georgia Tech, MIT, Purdue University, Caltech, and the Planetary Science Institute, and it will make use of a probe sent to space by a Rocket Lab spacecraft.\u0026nbsp;\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/eas.gatech.edu\/people\/carr-dr-christopher\u0022\u003EChristopher E.
