text: The author spends three of their six body paragraphs explaining how NASA would explore the planet of Venus. In paragraph 6 they explain that sending an orbiting ship around the planet will provide limited insight of the ground below ,and the only way to gain more knowledge is to be able to collect rock and gas samples. The author never states what we could possiable learn from the rock samples, or even elbrates on the idea of collecting a varity of samples from the planet. They later spend paragraph 7 explaining the history of computers and how much computes have progressed since 1800. They even explain the mechainics of computers during the World War II for example, "these devices make calculations by using gear and levers and do not require electronics at all." The mechainics of computers has nothing to do with the idea that we should be exploring NASA. The infomation provided in paragraph 5 through 7, such as the history and mechanics of computers. The little infomation given on how a rock sampple will help us learn about Venus, or that NASA isn't able to gain enough infomation from sending a hovering ship about the planet, do not help or support the authors claim that Venus is worthy of exploring despite the dangers.
