Going to Venus sounds like an amazing things to do. In ways it is very similar to Earth. Even though both planets are similar they are vastly different. Even if we could go to Venus it doesn't seem like it would ve worth the trip. From the information we would gain, extreme conditions, and the cost of all of it, the pursuit of studying Venus doesn't seem like its worth it.

I don't believe we would learn very much from going to Venus. In paragraph 6 the author mentions that, "most forms of light cannot penetrate the dense atmosphere, Rendering standard forms of photography and videography inffective." So even before going we already know that we wouldn't be able to see what the surface of Venus very well. This makes studying Venus harder because most of us would want a see what they are studying. The author also says, "scientists seeking to conduct a thorough mission to understand Venus we need to get up close and personal despite the risks." The surface of Venus has an average temperature of over 800 degrees Fahrenheit, so get up close and personal isn't very likely to be successful. Even if it was successful there is a lot of risk involved to just find out what the surface of it is made out of, but if we foind out what it was made up of what could we with knowledge.

Venus is also a very dangerous place to be because of the harsh conditions. Dangerous like the previously mentioned average temperature of over 800 degrees Fahrenheit and the atmospheric pressure that is over 90 times greater than Earth's. Venus also has erupting volcanoes, strong earthquakes, and a lot of lightning. It would be hard to survive there let alone gather information about it. Even machines would have a hard time surviving this harsh conditions. The author tries to counter this by saying that we use "a blimp-like vechile hovering over 30 or so miles above the roiling Venusian landscape, but even then we would learn almost nothing because it would be hard to get samples from that height.

One thing I am sure the author left out on purpose is the cost how much would all cost. I'm no expert of space exploration, but I am sure of one thing it isn't cheap. How much would all the research and technology to even get a to Venus cost. I'm sure it would cost billions of dollars because there is a reason we stop sending rockets into space, and its because it costs too much. This project seems like it would cost a lot of tax payer money,and for the possibility of learning what Venus's surface is made of.

Even with the author's persuasive article, I still not convinced that studying Venus is worth the trouble. It would provide little information that would actually be useful for us. Venus's conditons are to extreme for us to get information about it. The trip to Venus would cost a lot of money. The author while making it seem possible and makes it seem impossible to learn about Venus.
