That is indeed a trite expression. Do you have any specific criticms of the seven open access, peer reviewed, articles from the SPARC team that back up their assertion that a fusion reactor could be running by 2025? I personally don't have the background necessary to evalaute their merits.

Do they really need a fast rocket just to be "aware" of what is happening between the earth and moon?

FWIW, that would undercut the entire argument linking blackholes and wormholes presented in the article. Namely, that observed gamma-ray blasts from black holes could mean they are wormholes with matter entering both ends and colliding: "Anything entering one mouth of a wormhole would exit out...

My 12 year old self always knew this to be true. ;)

From the paper: " The asteroid belthas been in steady-state for∼3.7 Gyr, implying that during this period,∼6e5 Earth-grazing asteroids of mass∼60 kg have impacted Venuswithin∼105yr of interacting with the Earth. " But they don't try to quantify the chances of those asteroids picking-up...

" Furtherwork is needed to investigate the existence and abun-dance of microbial life in the upper atmosphere, partic-ularly at the altitude considered here,∼85 km, at which Earth-grazing object would avoid significant heating. " So, their argument hinges on the assertion that object...

Maybe they didn't originally form where they are today? https://www.space.com/venus-life-earth-grazing-asteroid

The paper linked in the artice has a section titled "MICROBIAL SURVIVAL": https://arxiv.org/pdf/2009.09512.pdf

Looks like this article touches on this topic: https://www.space.com/phosphine-venus-clouds-chemical-explained.html "Phosphine is a chemical compound made up of one atom of phosphorus and three atoms of hydrogen, and scientists have also spotted it on Earth, Jupiter and Saturn. On the gas...

No stars in the background! Clearly another hoax! ;)

Sure, but what's more promising than Venus at the moment, not already being investigated, and within technological reach? Also, people "getting carried away" can lead to MORE funding for space projects. Regarding negentropy, the only source I really found on that was this line from Wikipedia...

IMHO, if people "getting carried away" leads to funding for more probes to investigate the hypotheses, then it's a good thing. I'm not sure what you mean by negentropy in this context , but it has been suggested that UV from the sun could be an energy source for atmospheric life. I'm not in a...
