...weekend for two years the Gens sons, Heinz, 26, and Josef, 23, carried construction materials into their shop near St. Severin's Gate in Cologne, Germany. Aided by friends, they carried out large quantities of earth. From the building came the sound of an internal-combustion engine. Exhaust vapor escaped through a pipe in the roof. Neighbors deduced that they were building a secret racing car; the Gens boys insisted that they were merely enlarging their basement. They were indeed digging-straight down.

No trace of nitrogen (which constitutes 78% of the earth's atmosphere) and only 1.5% of oxygen and water vapor were detected. In readings made before Venus 4 entered the atmosphere, the Russians could find no evidence of a Venusian magnetic field and radiation belt...
