text: The vehicle NASA is planning will not allow researchers to take samples of rocks, gas, or anything else or that matter. The author states, "Peering at Venus from a ship orbiting or hovering safely far above the planet can provide only limited insight on ground conditions because most forms of light cannot penetrate the dense atmoshpere, renddering standard forms of photography and videography ineffective. More importantly, researchers cannot take samples of rock, gas, or anything else, from a distance." This is to explain that the dangers of going to Venus far outweigh the saftey. There is lots of research to still be done on Venus.
