text: The author from the very start of reading this article shows that Venus is well worth the time and effort we are putting towards it. In the text it says "Often referred to as Earth's "twin" Venus is the closest planet to earth in terms of density and size". Venus and Earth are alike in many ways for example Earth Venus and mars are our lanetary neighbors they orbit thr sun as different speeds. These differences in speed mean that sometimes we are closer to Mars and other times closer to Venus because how it says in the text "Venus is sometime right around the corner in space terms." This is other example on how well the author supports his idea of Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it present.
