text: Humans cannot phyically be on Venus but we can get close to being there. The NASA is actually has one idea of how us humans can get close Venus as the author states the idea "Imagine a blimp-like vehicle hovering 30 or so miles above the roilng Venusian landscape." (para 5). The conditons for this will not be easy but is survivable for humans. The author states in "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" "Not easy conditons, but survivable for humans." (para 5) meaning humans that go to Venus will not find this easy but they will survive and be okay. The author is talking about how it would be to go to Venus but he believes there are ways to visit witht the conditions. "... despite the risks. Or maybe we should think of them as challenges." (para 6). By this the author is trying to get to the point that despite the unusual conditions for us humans there are still ways for us to get around it and we may face challenges but we can figure them out with our technology.
