text: In the begging of this article the author gives many reasons why Venus is a dangerous place. In the article he describes Venus as a place that seems close to a pit of fire stating "temperatures avrage over 800 degrees Farenheit..., Venus has the hottest surface temperature of any planet" (The Challenge of Exploring Venus 3). These factors make it impossiable to explore Venus at all and earth technologly would take awhile to be able to make anything that withstand these heats for too long. To try and make a rover that could run around Venus could takes million or billions of dollars and is not worth that much. It also says that "no spacecraft surived the landing for more than a few hours"(The Challenge of Exploring Venus 2). Even if NASA could get another robot to Venus the data collected in just a few hours does prove to be very useful, other than a few pictures showing the likeness of Venus to Earth. The author lacks sustainable sloutions to these problems and provieds more reasions not to go rather than to go.
