Rate the following essay on its writing, argument, and language skills:
In the passage "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" explains why the exploration of Venus is a worthy pursuit even though there are dangers. As stated in the article Venus which is reffered to as Earth's "Twin" would be most suitable for life on another planet. There are risks of taking the exploration to Venus such as a successful landing and and harsh tempatures, but if you look at the upside of potential life on a new planet the pros out weigh the cons on the oppurtunity to explore Venus.

The author supports the idea of exploring Venus for potential life by explaining how Venus is the "Most Earth-like in our solor system." Signs of water on Venyss from long ago could have supported many forms of life on Venus. The passage also says "Today, Veneus still has some features that are analogous to those on Earth." which shows the simililarities to the planets. Which also ties into how Venus is the closest planet to Earth with the features it has.

The other side to why we should continue our exploration on to Venus is because we have the technology in today's world that is advanced enough to get to Venus. NASA has shown they have the technology to last on the surface of the earth for 3 weeks which is a great start to exploring the surface of the planet. NASA also came up with the idea of "Allowing scientist who go to Venus to float above the fray." which means the scientist would be in Venus but they wouldn't be on the surface. That would allow the scientists to get a a bird's eye view of what Venus is like.

With strong evidence like how closely Venus is related to Earth and the technology we have on Earth to get us to Venus the author is able to make a good arguement and support the exploration of Venus. The Pros such as a new potential of life, and the exploration of a new planet out weigh the cons which are cost and, the danger of landing on Venus.

Therefore the support the author used, makes the exploration of Venus a claim that has evidence behind it to support his idea.
