text: The author's first idea to support the claim that we could do more to explore Venus in the near future is keeping the people sent there in a spacecraft, kind of like a blimp, about 30 miles above the surface. The author compares this to how planes fly above storms, which we already know is a good way to complete the task and stay safe. Although the pressure and temperature would still be intense, the astronauts could still do their job under these conditions.
