text: The author of this article is obviously drawn to exploring Venus to get a better understanding of it. In the last paragraph it is said that "Our travels on Earth and beyond should not be limited by dangers and doubts but should be expanded to meet the very edges of imagination and innovation." The authoer is just saying that no matter how big the danger is, even if it is risky, we shouldn't be set back by it. Sometimes, somethings are better left unexplored because it could have risks that people don't even know of. If they are somehow able to make a machine that is able to withstand the harsh climate of Venus, they will want to send a person up there one day won't they? But I human most likely will never be able to withstand those conditions even if they were in a machine that protected them. Heat causes things to expand which can eventually expand the metal enough and expose that person to heat and carbon dioxide.
