text: Similarly, the author provides little reasoning behind the belief that humanity should explore the planet Venus. Despite claiming that "Venus can sometimes be our nearest option for a planetary visit", there is little evidence given that exploring and observing Venus would be of much benefit. In fact, the author seems to have found more evidence against Venus exploration, as the prior paragraph (which listed reasons that Venus was dangerous) was much more explicit and detailed than paragraph 3. The negatives of exploring Venus (such as death and wasted money or time) seem to far outweigh the positives.
