text: That being said, even with the little information given about the claim, the information isn't very convincing to the claim. The article stated, "Futhermore, recall that Venus can sometimes be our nearest option for a planetary visit, a crucial consideration given the long time frames of space travel." Even though this statement is supposed to help support the claim, it doesn't give a strong straightforward, answer as to why its necessary to go to Venus. It talked about how it would effect the long time frames of space travel, but not how it would help it or what that has to do with going to Venus. The article also stated, "Our travels on Earth and beyond should not be limited by dangers and doubts but should be expanded to meet the very edges of imagination and innovation." This statement explains why the author thinks we should explore Venus, however the claim is not supported by facts and doesn't explain why we, the public, should want to explore Venus.
