Oh, isn't this interesting:
Venus may once have been more Earth-like, with volcanic activity and an ocean of water, a new map of the toasty planet's southern hemisphere suggests. The map comprises over a thousand individual images, recorded between May 2006 and December 2007 by the European Space Agency's Venus Express spacecraft.So that's three rocky, watery planets in this Solar System. Two destroyed by some cosmic cataclysm, one developing a species that could terraform them back to life.
It gives astronomers another tool in their quest to understand why Venus is so similar in size to Earth and yet has evolved so differently. Because Venus is covered in clouds, normal cameras cannot see the surface, but Venus Express used a particular infrared wavelength to see through them. - Space.com

Very interesting, indeed.
We definitely can see a path being created with all this information coming out recently.
Interesting times ahead, dear chap.
"one developing a species that could terraform them back to life."
F@#K yeah!
ESA or NASA, either way I have to take anything they say with agrain of salt. After all, they do have a habit of "altering" their images.
