text: Now that we know that humans may be able to survive venus, why would we need to do it? Well, a very good reason is to explore the planet, and examine specimen for any signs of life, as well for new elements. Well, this would be great to do, but there are many things that stand in our way. For example, we couldn't take descent quality (or maybe at all) photographs. Like the Author says in the passage "most forms of light cannot penetrate the dense atmosphere, rendering standard forms of photograpghy and videography ineffective." He also goes on to tell us that researchers can not receive specimens to study. According to the passage, Sciencists are developing a machine that can last long enough to be able to collect what it needs and get out. Well, this is going more difficult then it sounds. First, little to no light near the surface. The robot will have to be autonomous and will have such low quality of light you have no idea of the dangers the robot may go through. The robot may get its job done, due to most autonomous robot not needing light to 'see'. The robot will corriode due to the corrsive nature of the planets air. If that robot doesn't last long, it will take more money to keep rebuilding then NASA's Venus team's budget has.
