text: In this article, I've learned alot about what scientists go through and they they busy life is. It was exciting reading about this and exploring something like this.                                                The author of the article "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" suggests that Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents. In paragraph 1 the author states, "While venus is simple to see from the distant but safe vantage point of Earth, it has proved a very challenging place to examine more closely." This sentence shows the author's beleif that Venus is a quite challenging planet to explore when up close. So far the author has given his opening formed one of his main ideas.
