text: After considering both sides of this controversial claim, I believe the author did not support the claim that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers. Although the author referred to the study being beneficial to man's sense of imagination and innovation, it is simply just too dangerous. The author repeatedly describes the challenge it would be for humans to carry out the study of Venus from space, as well as word choice that conveys the assumptions he or she makes based on their own knowledge. Many risks would be taken in order to physically explore Venus, and I believe the dangers could be more costly than the knowledge gained through the experience. I believe the author did not support the idea that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers. Driverless cars, the way of the future? More like stay in the dream world! I think the idea of a driverless car is ridiculous at this point in time. Safety issues, misuse/abuse, and new ways of the road. All for the fact people don't want to drive themselves or it will be safer? I don't think so!
