People have been curious to learn about Venus for decades and now we have a chance to learn more about it. In the passage "The challenge of exploring Venus" the author supports the idea that studying Venus will be worth it by telling us all the benefits of why it will be worth it. In the article he says that Venus could have once been like Earth and dried up and had these physical condtions that it has now. The author tries to tell us that exploring Venus will be worth it because it brings valuable research. The author tries to tell us that Venus is a dangerous and difficult planet to explore but with the technology that we have it can be accomplished. The author tries to tell us this by how he describes Venus.

In the passage the author tells us that exploring Venus can bring very valuable information. For example in the passage the author says that Venus could have been like Earth at one point and that fascinates them. In the passage it says "Astronomers are fascinated by Venus because it may well once have been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system", This quote explains why people would like to study this planet because it was like Earth and it could bring valuable information of why it formed this way. In the passage it also says "Long ago, Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life just like earth", This quote gives us another idea why people would want to explore Venus because it can bring information that we have yet to know about.

In the passage it says that overtime we have created technology that is capable of withstanding Venus conditions. In the passage the author says "For example, some simplified electronics made of silicon carbide have been tested in a chamber simulating the chaos of Venu's surface and have lasted for three weeks in such conditions.", This quote explains how our technology has improved and that now we have a

more likely chance to study Venus and get to learn more about it.

To conclude, the author suggests that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit because it will bring valuable information and we have the technology to ecplore Venus. Venus was like Earth and astronomers are working on getting us to learn more about it. Astronomers over time have sent numerous missions to Venus but none of them ever made it back but now with the technology that we have our missions have a chance of succeding. The author is fascinated on learning about this planet because it can help us understand why this planet is how it is is now.
