text: The author suggests that studying Venus is a worthy persuit despite the dangers it presents. The author supports their claim by giving numerous details and supporting his ideas."Striving to meet the challenge presented by Venus has value, not only because of the insight to be gained on the planet itself, but also because human curiosity will likely lead us into many equally intimidating endbeavors." A big issue that is brought up are the harsh conditions Venus brings. "On the planet's surface, temperatures average over 800 degrees Farenheight, and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience on our own planet." Knowing this, you might think that they must stop there with their research because there's no way they can discover Venus now because it's to dangerous and harsh. That is false, "NASA's possible solution to the hostile conditions on the surface of Venus would allow scientists to float above the fray." Their solution is to have a vehicle hovering over Venus that would avoid the unfriendly ground conditions by staying up and out of their way. It would still be toasty but not deathly. The author claims, " Not easy conditions, but survivable for humans." The author supports his claim by saying yes, the temperature is a challenge they will face, but NASA has one particular compelling idea for sending humans to study Venus, and they will continue to challenge themselves and find solutions to these conflicts they face.
