I note that there are very few religious proselytizer killers/ings. Your door-to-door visitors are unlikely to be violent (but quite likely to be after your money and time).
Comment on World would be a better place

I’d be dead. A serial killer would use it as an excuse to come inside and I’d immediately be an idiot and say “absolutely come on in. I love Venus.”
As I was writing the above sentence, I suddenly had an idea for a story about a Vampire who tries to use religion as a way of being invited over the threshold of strangers homes, and get increasingly frustrated when people tell him to fuck off.

It’s a bad cover because most people will say no and remember your face.

knock, knock
I’m not a serial killer or a vampire, and I will happily discuss Venus with you. We can even do it at a nice, safe distance! I’ll apologize now if that doesn’t advance your fiction, or any erotic fantasies of frustrated vampires you may have.
I really want to build a set-up that can properly observe the planet deep into twilight. I’ve read that twilight is the time when you can observe the almost-legendary “ashen light”. Given recent discoveries around a very narrow atmospheric window that lets you just sort of see the surface, in a super-blurry way, I’m wondering if these two phenomena are related. Given the Trump antipathy to planetary science, and Venus exploration in particular, I would find this pretty satisfying.
… unless you were referring to Aphrodite, and not the planet.
