text: Trying to visit Venus is a very hard task for NASA because Venus has a lot of things different about it than Earth. Venus is one of our closes reletives is size. But has a thick atmosphere and it is made of 97% carbon dioxide blankets and clouds that are made of sulfuric acid. Venuses planet surface is around 800 degrees fahrenheit. The author talks about these to show how dangerous it is and what challenges NASA faces to explore this plant. But to really understand Venus NASA needs to get up close with this plant. So they have sent un-maned devices to explore but dont last more than a few hours. But NASA is looking back at simplified devices that are made of silicon carbide that can last up to 3 weeks in the harsh conditions of Venus. Which means we are getting closer to undertanding this amazing plant. NASA whats to send a blimp-like vehicle to surface the plant and use the drone to explore and collect samples. So the author did a great job telliing us about the plan and it seems that despite the dangers it can be accomplished with hard work and preparing for the dangerous mission of exploring Venus.
