text: The text had little information about why Venus is a nessecary place to go, even with its dangerous climate. Pharagraph 4 and 8 are the only paragraphs that talked about why we need to go to Venus, the other 6 having nothing to do with it. The article stated, "If our sister planet is so inhospitable, why are scientists even discussing further visits to its surface?" After that statement it went into why Venus is similar to Earth, however it didn't give any strong indicators why space travel to this planet would ever by nessecary until pharagraph 8. In this pharagraph it stated, "Striving to meet the challenge presented by Venus has value, not only because of the insight to be gained on the planet itslef, but also beacuse human curiosity will likely lead us into many equally intimidating factors." This statement explains why the author think it is nessecary, but the article needs more about this topic to give a solid opinion.
