text: Then you get the reader wondering how do we study a planet we can't even land on. The text states " NASA's possible solution to the hostile conditions on the suface of Venus would allow the scientist to float above the fray." Then the author compares that to flying above storms in airplanes today. This would allow the humans not to get hurt while testing Venus. The author has given the reader a good way to see how it would be possible for scientis to experiment on Venus. That is another way he makes it seem like a worthy pursuit.
