text: Why would some people consider getting a closer look at Venus a challenge and not a risk? "A thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets Venus. On the planet's surface, temperatures average over 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience on our own planet. These conditions are far more extreme than anything huimans encounter on Earth" (paragraph 3). This supports the idea that going to Venus does have some dangers. On Earth we have never expierienced 800 degree weather. To top it off, the atomosphere is 97 percent carbon dioxide. This would make it extremly difficult for us to even breath on Venus. "Modern computers are enormous;y powerful, flexible, and quick, but tend to be more delicate when it comes to extreme nphysical conditions. Just imagine exposing a cell phone or tablet to acid or heat capable of melting tin. By comparison, systems that use mechanical parts can be made more resistant to pressure, heat, and other forces." This supports the idea that in order for them to get to Venus they must produce a device that will be able to make it through the mission withought burning up. They also have to think about how the human who on the mission are going to stay cool in the scorching conditions of Venus. This supports the idea that going to Venus for a closer look may perhaps be a risk.
