text: In this first paragraph, the authors claims are going to be shared with the readers. The author stated some very interseting things when it came to finding new ways to travel up to Venus. The authors views on traveling to Venus were more one sided towards going and risking it to try and make a new ground breaking discovery. The way the author was describing some of the methods of trasnportation that could be possible to the austronauts that could potentially be travleing up there, was very sided towards him wanting to go through with anything that NASA wanted to try. This quote from paragraph 8 states, "Our travels on Earth and beyond should not be limited by dangers and doubts but should be expanded to meet the very edges of imadination and innovation." This quote from his article is that we should not limit what we do, but oh do not forget that the risks are kinda high and your sruvival rates might not be the best. This is an opinion that the author is feeding to us that risking peoples lives to go to Venus, in test missions, is more important than actually trying to find a solution that will work one hundred percent of the time.
