I can definitely see the appeal if pop-up cameras made good on their promises of durability. Probably deserved a better chance than we gave them.

That kinda reminds me of the initial suspicions about pop up front facing cameras. Like, did we ever get an answer to whether they were durable enough?

It seems like they fell out of favour due to things like waterproofing, thickness and weight issues, but I can't seem to find much about how they fared in that department other than early predictions.

While we could certainly get to a point where the earth becomes uninhabitable for a majority of species, a Venusian climate is a little out of reach as Venus receives a lot more solar radiation from its proximity to the sun.

We also cant really survive long term at 5,000 ppm of CO2, so our autonomous planet killing robots would have to work extra hard to reach Venus' 965,000 ppm of CO2.
