text: The second reason I don't think the author supports the idea is they talk about how they haven't sent anything there in three decades. They can't send anything there because of how bad the conditions are on Venus and nothing has ever survived. It states in the article, "Humans have sent numerous spacecraft to land on this cloud-draped world. Each...mission was unmanned....since no spacecraft survived the landing for more than a few hours." The reason they haven't anything is because we don't have the ability to. The conditions there are too extreme for even our technology to withstand and like what I am going to discuss in the next paragraph it would take decades to develop that technology.
