text: The author then uses paragraph four to give the readers a reason as to why scientists are still interested in Venus. The author states that Venus could have been similar to Earth in its earlier years. Scienstists say that it was probably covered in oceans and could have supported life. another great facot is that Venus is still the nearest option for a planetary visit. But in paragraph 5 and the six the author starts to talk about safe options for humans to go there. The author uses evidence from NASA as to what we could do; use a blimp like vehicle or a ship that hovers about 30 miles above the Venusian landscape. However viewing venus from above would not give NASA any insight on what is going on below. The reason the author gives the reader as to why we should explore Venus does not seem interesting enough and the only safe way we could get to venus once again, makes collecting information seem unlikely.
