text: Since Venus is closer to the sun it is a lot hotter then the surface on Earth. Scientist did say that although it may be very hot it is still survivable by humans. This means that Venus could one day be a living quaters for the human race. The author says that NASA wants to take a ship and hover it around 30 miles or so over Venus' surface, this will give us a little bit more insight on how Venus actually is but not too much on the surface. Because Venus has a thick cloud covering its surface its hard to get light to get through and not much will be present to the naked eye. This just furthers the authors claim to try even harder to figure out a way to reach Venus' surface and find more information regarding the planet.
