The author does not seem to consider the cliamate change in Venus, neither does he mention the possiblity of other planets. After all what would be the point of traveling through Venus and later realizing that there was a better option. Although the author would like our travels to be guided by "imagination and innovation" they only work if govern by a clear plan and logical thinking. Both of which the are unfortanatly lacking which gives weak support to his ideas.      When facing a challenge or problem, people often ask someone for advice and guidance. But it is important to got to many people instead of just one. Asking a variety of people gives different perspectives, a multitude of different ideas, and many people have life experiences with these issues. Just one person will not have the same answer to the question as another, and it is important to hear advice from everyone you can to gain a proper understanding. Without a multitude of answers, your advice may be untrue or biased and therefore useless to you.
