text: The author provides another possible solution to the hardships on Venus' surface in paragraph 7 by writing about another NASA study, "... these devices make calculations by using gears and levers and do not require electronics at all. Modern computers are enormously powerful, flexible, and quick, but tend to be more delicate when it comes to extreme physical conditions." The proposal of using older, more durable technology gives a real legitimacy to getting a drone on the surface of Venus and back to the scientists to study any data that could be obtained by such drones. The author's explanation of modern computers brings more diction into his pursuasion techniques. With the strong description of modern computers as "...enormously powerful, flexible, and quick, but tend to be more delicate..." we can easily see the author's strong affection towards traveling to Venus, becuase of how in depth he gets into the logistics of making the travels a reality.
