In his latest book, A World Full of Demons, astronomer and popularizer of science Carl Sagan said that even if aliens are short, harsh and sexually obsessed creatures, he wants to know about them. Humanity has been trying for a long time to find signs of the existence of life outside the Earth and uses a variety of ways to do this. For example, in 1977, NASA sent two Voyager spacecraft with gold-plated disks outside the Solar System, in which the most important scientific discoveries, DNA molecules, music and other information are recorded. It is expected that this disk will be found by alien civilizations and will be able to contact us. Recently, scientists decided to send an updated message to space for aliens — it is called a "Beacon in the Galaxy" and contains genetic data of people with a return address for communication. Some scientists fear terrible consequences in advance.

We will find out the answer very soon – the results of the 2023 mission will definitely shed light on the mysteries of the Venusian clouds, and another mission is planned for 2026. This time, scientists will send a larger probe to the second planet from the Sun, which will be able to stay in the clouds of Venus for long periods of time, which means it will be able to collect more data. The culmination of the whole project will be the return of a sample of the atmosphere of Venus to Earth.

Kosmos-60 was still able to bring some scientific data – the gamma-ray spectrometer showed an interesting distribution of energy in the gamma-ray spectrum in Earth orbit.
On April 10, another E6, number 8, went into space. "Number eight is not welcome to the Moon" - so, according to Boris Chertok's memoirs, the officers of the launch team joked darkly. And so it turned out: the third stage failed, the station did not even enter orbit.
