text: Although the risks of Venus seem to out weigh any possible benefits, the author presents possible solutions to many of these problems. With Venus's atmosphere being hostile, it would make landing and gathering data on the planet impossible. However, the author presents NASA's solution of a blimp like vehicle that could stay above the threatening atmosphere. Although conditions would be difficult to sustain, the air pressure and temperature would be liveable for humans. The author also adds the idea of using mechanical computers. These old pieces of technology would allow humans to make calculations, without having to worry about harsh conditions as much.
