...findings make it less likely than ever that future space probes will find any kind of life on Venus. A surface compression of 75 atmospheres is as crushing as the pressure of water 2,550 ft. below the ocean's surface.

Part of the money will be spent on a new seaport at Cuama, on the Indian Ocean at the mouth of the Zambezi, which will be capable of handling 40,000-ton freighters. More millions will go toward making the river navigable as far as Tete, some 90 miles from the dam. One day the Portuguese hope to see a huge iron and steel works rise...
