text: Next, the author presents multiple problems for why Venus exploration will be a difficult task. It is apparent once again that the author did plenty of research to find as many potential problems as they could. The text supports this claim by saying "No spacecraft survived the landing for more than a few hours... Numerous factors contribute to Venus's reputation as a challenging planet for humans to study... On the planet's surface, temperatures average over 800 degrees... Such an environment would crush even a submarine accustomed to diving to the deepest parts of our oceans and would liquefy many metals." This shows that the author knows many potential problems that could harm chances at landing a manned mission on Venus.
