text: Though there are certainly high risks that come with traveling to such a dangerous planet, there are ways for humans to survive them. The author mentions that, "Just as our jet airplanes travel at a higher altitude to fly over many storms, a vehicle hovering over Venus would avoid the unfriendly ground conditions by staying up and out of their way. ... the air pressure would be close to that of sea level on Earth. Solar power would be plentiful, and radiation would not exceed Earth levels" (5). With humans' current technological advances, it is made possible to avoid the worst of the cruel conditions on Venus, like sweltering heat and impossible atmospheric pressure.
