text: Another thing that the author did poorly was not including any counterarguments to the cons of exploring Venus. It seems that the author does not care about the negatives of Venus' exploration and completely ignores them. They should of included counterarguments against the cons that thy stated. If they did this, it would further prove their opinion. Instead, they just give ideas of how an expedition to Venus would occur. The author then makes it worse. In paragraph six, the author goes on to give more negatives of the process of Venus' exploration. They say, "However, peering at Venus from a ship orbiting or hovering safely above the planet can provide only limited insight on ground conditions because most forms of light cannot penetrate the dense atmosphere." This claim adds more negative to the passage. The author poorly supports the idea that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit.
