text: First, Venus and Earth share a lot of similarities within themselves. "Venus is the closest planet to Earth in terms of density and size, and occasionally the closest in distance too." Also, many years ago, there are speculations that Venus was probably full of oceans and could suport many different types of life, just as Earth was too. Many people may argue that since it was awhile ago, it can be completely different now which is true, but the author explains themself perfectly because they add that it still shares many features such as valleys, mountains, and craters. Lastly, although the temperatures differ between the two planets, the author provides a great alternative to hover 30 miles above the surface of Venus. This way, people are still in contact with Venus, but remain safe with the conditions that they have put themselves in.
