text: Although the thought of exploring Venus the "Evening Star" sounds fun, the author does not realisticly support this idea. He claims that NASA has considered sending humans above the planets harsh terrain in a blimp like vehichle in order to aviod the storms. The idea sounds great until considering that, "reasearchers cannot take samples". In other words even if NASA manages to send humans to Venus through this method reasearchs still wouldn't be able to find anything worth studying. The author does not take into account the irrational sense this would make neither does he consider what will happen if something goes haywire, the power runs out, or if the storms and clouds rose higher.
