Btw because of this I am unhappy that we don't have a hot jupiter here in our solar system, it would be very interesting

Be glad, the cold Jupiter we do have protects us from comets and asteroids. Also, IIRC, hot Jupiter's tend to destroy the orbits of smaller planets as they cruise inward. Or at least thats what some computer simulations say.
Be glad.
Also, sending a rover to Venus would be different because you couldn't keep cool by keeping your radiator in the dark, like in a vacuum. At least that's my guess anyway.
