Its been about a billion years since Venus had significant water, then the planet turned itself inside out on the surface by volcanic activity.
Now its drier than the driest dessert on Earth. The surface pressure is about the same as 2 miles beneath our oceans but boy is it hot from trapping solar heat. It is estimated the rate of volcanic activity on Venus now is nearly the same as Earth today.

Will Venus ever have its atmosphere distill out its sulfuric acid?
Probably not. Even a collision with a giant water comet will not help due to the heat.

I am not interested in leaving footprints in the sand. Nor do I desire leaving a rare fossilized footprint. Blogging exercises help thinking like talking to oneself. Its just not that important although I do wish the great library of Alexandria had not burned. Half of that stuff was probably nonsense that we see today on the web.
