text: Throughout the article, the author talks about very little benefits that come when sending a man to Venus. Scientists do believe that Venus was once covered with large oceans and might have had a variety of life forms. But this means nothing to us now if it's all destroyed. We will never for sure know if there was once life there, all of the evidence is gone. Honestly, what is the point in even going to Venus? Temperatures of 800 degrees would have burnt everything. Besides, why does is matter to us if there was once life there? We should focus on Earth and how we need to start taking care of it, before it ends up like Venus. There was no solid point in this article that honestly pursuaded me to want to send someone to visit Venus.
