Rate the following essay on its writing, argument, and language skills:
What do you think about Venus? Is it safe to explore Venus? Or is it not safe to? In "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" the author's idea is that "Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents." How good is he at explaining it? In his article, the author doesn't do well in supporting his idea.

To start, the author mostly provides evidence for the counter agrument. The author states, "it has proved a very challenging place to examine more closely."

He also states, "Each previous mission was unmanned, and for good reason, since no spacecraft survived the landing for more than a few hours." The entire third paragraph also talks about the disadvantages of pursuiting Venus. In that paragrph he states, "These conditions are far more extreme than aything humans encounter on Earth." This shows that the author doesn't support his idea well because his evidence supports the counter argument.

The author's claim is that it is worthy pursuiting Venus, but they can't take further samples because of the risks. The author states, "More importantly, researchers cannot take samples of rock, gas, or anything else, from a distance." NASA had an idea for sending humans to study Venus, on a blimp-like vehicle. But the conditions aren't easy. According to the article, "temperatures would be toasty at around 170 degrees Fahrenheit."

This proves that the author's claim wasn't supported well because the information provides the disadvantages of studying Venus.

To conclude, the author doesn't support his idea well. He doesn't provide the right information to support his idea. Most of his information goes for the idea that it is impossilbe to study mars.
