text: The evidence to support going to Venus is average at best. The strongest argument given by the author is in paragraph 4 where they say, " Astronomers are fascinated by Venus because it may well once have been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system." This may be true, but I think the author has still given insufficient evidence for why it would be benificial to explore Venus. It may be possible in the future that new technologies allow us to explore Venus, but for now I think we should wait.
