I missed Day of the Doctor XC

It was an epic. =) you can still see it on bbc Iplayer.

I'm obsessed with Polyus at the moment and I'll upload the painting of it when I finish, but it would be epic if you drew it, too. Could u plz? .u.

Nice! Ok I Will have a go.

Forget what I said about Venera 13... Make that Venera 7, not 13! The big ball on top of the cruise stage looks a bit unweildy...

ok no problem.

Venera 7, manufacturer's designation: 3V (V-70), COSPAR ID: 1970-060A, SATCAT Number: 4489... Thought that might help. :) I'll also copy and paste from Wikipedia so you don't have to! >:D

The Venera 7 (Russian: Венера-7 meaning Venus 7) (manufacturer's designation: 3V (V-70)) was a Soviet spacecraft, part of the Venera series of probes to Venus. When it landed on the Venusian surface, it became the first man-made spacecraft to land successfully on another planet, and to transmit data from there back to Earth.

The probe was launched from Earth on August 17, 1970, at 05:38 UTC. It consisted of an interplanetary bus based on the 3MV system and a lander. During the flight to Venus two in-course corrections were made using the bus's on-board KDU-414 engine.

It entered the atmosphere of Venus on December 15, 1970. Unusually the lander remained attached to the interplanetary bus during the initial stages of atmospheric entry. This was to allow the bus to cool the lander to -8°C for as long as possible. The lander was ejected once atmospheric buffeting broke the interplanetary bus's lock-on with Earth. The parachute opened at a height of 60 km and atmospheric testing began with results showing the atmosphere to be 97% carbon dioxide. During the descent the parachute appeared to fail, resulting in a more rapid than planned descent. As a result the lander struck the surface of Venus at about 16.5 metres per second (54 ft/s) at 05:37:10 UTC. Landing coordinates are 5°S 351°E / 5°S 351°E / -5; 351.

The probe appeared to go silent on impact. However, recording tapes kept rolling. A few weeks later, upon a reviewing of the tapes, another 23 minutes of very weak signals were found on them. The spacecraft had landed on Venus and probably bounced onto its side upon impact, leaving the medium gain antenna not aimed correctly for strong signal transmission to Earth. The only data returned from the surface were temperature readings, which gave a temperature of 475 °C (887 °F).

I just did a Wiki search of Venera and Venera 7 doesn't have a cruise stage pic, so use Venera 8's design. :)
