text: In this next paragraph, being discussed will be some of the ways the author either stood up for or tore down his own claims. In paragraph 7, the author states, "NASA is working on other approaches to studying Venus, For example, some simplified electronics made of silicon carbide have been tested in a chamber simulating the chaos of Venus's surface and have lasted for three weeks in such ocnditions." This quote is stating a back up to his claim that he is making. With NASA working on traveling to Venus in the near future, the technology could also be used by researchers who are trying to allow people to go to Mars and investigate what is going on there. The technology they are talking about in this article might be about Venus, but it is still and option to use it for other projects as well.
