Rate the following essay on its writing, argument, and language skills:
In "The Challenge of Exploring Venus," the author suggests that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents. The author supports this claim very well by showing how survivable Venus could be.

Firstly, the author states, "Solar power would be plentiful, and radiation would not exceed Earth levels." This shows that we would have healthier and more energy were we to live on Venus, and living on Venus is the main reason to explore it. This piece of evidence also shows although radiation wouldn't be any better on Venus, it also wouln't be any worse. Which could be a tremendously amazing thing.

Secondly, the author states, "Long ago, Venus was probably covered largely with oceans that could have supported various forms of life, just like Earth." Although this evidence speaks in the past tense, this still shows how little we know about Venus and how much we could know if we were to explore it better. Even though it is intensely dangerous, it is beyond worth it if we were to attempt to start life on our twin planet.

Lastly, the author states, "Venus still has some features that are analogous to those on Earth. The planet has a surface of rocky sediment and includes familiar features such as valleys, mountains, and craters." This shows how well the planet is, in the present; as well as how good of an idea it would be to find out more about it.

In conclusion, there is still so much left undiscovered of Venus, and the author layed out many good reasons as to why we should still continue trying to explore it. Besides, history never would have been made, in all of time, if no one ever took a few risks here and there.
