A reason that the author provided in the article on why humans should explore Venus, was that Venus use to be just like Earth. Going along with this, the author also gives ways of how humans could study and possibly live on Venus. The last big way that the author shows on why humans should push torwards studying Venus, was that discovering Venus would allow humans to "meet the very edges of imagination and innovation." In this article the author provides many ways of how and why humans should study and explore Venus despite it's dangers.

In paragraph 4 the author provides information from astronomers saying that Venus use to be just like Earth. In this paragraph the author states that Venus use to be covered with large oceans and could have also supported various forms of life. The author also states many other facts on how Venus use to be like Earth. Venus use to have many features that where very close to Earth. Venus use to have many valleys, mountains, and craters.

Overall the author supports the idea of living on Venus and doing as much research on the plant because scientists have come up with many safe ways of doing it.
