text: In conclusion, forcing students to participate in an extracurricular activity could be an inconvienance as well as unfair. Not a lot of good things come out of a situation like this. The negatives cancel out the positive.        Based on the passage, I can infer that the author studied a lot about Venus. He states that Venus is close to earth but close to the sun also. Which creates the problem that no human being can land on Venus because of its heat and density. Also in the passage, the author states how it's been three decades and we still, despite the technology we have, can't land on Venus. Not even the machine they sent out could survive. Problems like that make NASA more curious, which makes it more worthy of a pursuit.
