text: does not do a good job of explaining the why Venus is worthy is studying and exploring, despite the dangers. The author spends to much time explaining computers, the history and the mechainics of them, and what we could learn about Venus through computers. They also use their time to tell their readers that sending an orbiting ship around plant won't provided us with enough infomation, and to explain how they would explore Venus and the tools they would use. The author did a poor job of explaining the importance of exploring Venus despite the dangers.      If schools offers students distance learning as an option, that student should take the offer. That's my opinion if a school ever offer me online school. If I would have chosen this offer, I would have 3 reason why I agree that offer. Student should always think first if a school offers you something.
