Rate the following essay on its writing, argument, and language skills:
The author uses many details to support their idea that Venus has value. They state that Venus is referred to as Earth's "twin" and that it is the closest to Earth when it comes to density and size. I believe this supports the claim because it means that it is fairly close and could be easily acessed for research.

The author also explains that people have sent spacecraft to land on Venus, but the missions were not completed since the crafts did not last very long. This supports the idea that there is not a lot known about Venus. It is said that the atmosphere is made up of nearly 97% carbon dioxide, and is covered with clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric acid, and that the surface of the planet averages over 800 degrees Fahrenheit. This tells us that Venus may not be the ideal place for human life, but still has plenty of value when it comes to research.

The article tells us that it may have been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system, and that it once may have been covered by large oceans and could have possibly supported life at one time. Venus still has some features that are similar to Earth such as valleys and mountains. It also states that it is sometimes our nearest option for a planetary visit. NASA has developed an idea for sending humans to study Venus. they suggest floating above the hostile conditions, but that would make it difficult to gather samples from the ground. We are told that scientists are creating new and innovative electronics and machines to help us get a better understanding of the planet. This gives us hope that there will be a solution if we need to stay above the ground to study Venus.The author explains to us that NASA is working on more devices and even going back to some simplified electronics. I believe they explain this to show that there are still many possibilities when it comes to electronic devices for research.

The author states that Venus has value because of the insight to be gained from researching it, but the author also states that human curiousity will likely lead us to equally dangerous places, and that our travels should not be limited by dangers and doubts. I believe that this statement is true and helps support their claim because if we let ourselves be consumed by fear and doubt, nothing would ever be accomplished.
