text: As much as it may be controversial, because the author did show alot of negative effects to exploring Venus, they did bring up some reasons how it could be a good idea to make an exploration like this, considering how alot Venus and Earth are. For example in paragraph 4, the author states,"Astronomers are fascinated by Venus because it may well once have been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system.""Venus still has some features that are analogous to those on Earth." These examples show that the author is guving strong reason why it would be possible to make a expidition to Venus.
