text: The world today revoles mainly around science, and scientists will do what they have to do to get information. "Humans have sent numerous spacecraft to land on this cloud-draped world. Each previous mission was unmanned, and for a good reason, since no spacecraft survived the landinf for more than a few hours" (paragraph 2). In the quote just stated, it proves that even if the spacecraft does not last more than a few hours, scientists are spending thousands of dollars on equipment just for some information but not much. In the next quote, some of the features will be listed. "The planet has a surface of rocky sediment and includes familiar features such as valleys, mountains, and craters" (paragraph 4). Astonomers are working with everything they can at the moment. "Researchers cannot take samples of rock, gas, or anything else, from a distance. Therefore, scientists seeking to conduct a thorough mission to understand Venus would need to get up close and personal despite the risks" (paragraph 6). The previous quote is stating that scientists are trying no matter what the risks are. Also, scientists cannot completely risk their lives for safety purposes but they do their best.
