text: In, "The Challenge of Exploring Venus", the author includes well researched evidence to support the idea that Venus is worthy of studying further. When explaining NASA's ideas on sending humans to Venus, the author states, "NASAs possible solution to the hostile conditions on the surface of Venus would allow scientists to float above the fray." This provides evidence that shows what a solution is to avoiding some of the difficulties that occur when trying to explore Venus. The author was able to support his idea throught the use of NASA and it's research. The passage continues to come up with a plan on the best way to float above Venus when the author says, "At thirty-plus miles above the surface, temperatures would still be toasty at around 170 degrees Fahrenheit, but the air pressure would be close to that of sea level on Earth." This factual evidence that is included ensures that the author is supporting this idea to the fullest of his potential. Researched and factual evidence that is provided all throughout the passage shows how the author supports this idea thoroughly and well.
