Summary
Today, you’ll learn about the life-crushing conditions on Venus that could actually tell us about life elsewhere in the universe, how indigenous cultural fire burning could help us create healthier forests, and the people who brew beer in their stomachs.

| 0:29.9 | Wait, what? |
| 0:31.3 | Okay, let's find out. If you look at pictures of all of the planets in our solar system lined up next to each other, |
| 0:37.4 | you might think Venus is a bit of an Earth dupe. |
| 0:40.9 | It's the closest planet in size to our own, just slightly smaller than us. |
| 0:44.4 | It's about 30% closer to us than the sun, but like still the closest planet to Earth. |
| 0:49.6 | In fact, it's also called our sister planet. |
