text: Venus has its fair share of deadly hazards including erupting volcanos, atomic pressure beyond what any human can stand, intense heat and many more serious hazards. The author states, "NASA's possible solution to the hostile conditions on the surface of Venus would allow scientists to float above the fray...a vehicle hovering over Venus would avoid the unfriendly ground conditions by staying up and out of their way...Not easy conditions, but survivable for humans." The author includes this to show that although Venus has it's dangers there are ways to get around them, he does this in order to support ,or convince the reader, that studying Venus would be more important than the possible dangers.
