text: In paragraph 5 the author starts to uncover some of NASA's ideas on how further exploration of Venus would be possible. One of those ideas include a hot air ballon style of exploration craft that will allow scientists to hover around 30 miles off of the planet's surface. The author goes on to say that this solution will certainly not make the conditions of Venus easy to handle, yet they will make them survivable. In the same paragraph the author also explains the importance of exploration on Venus. He goes on to say that Venus is on eof the closest planets in our solar system to Earth. This means that Venus may have at one point sustained life just like the planet Earth. This, in turn, gives an appealing reason in which exploration of Venus should definetly be considered.
