Rate the following essay on its writing, argument, and language skills:
What is Venus often reffered as? Venus is often reffered as Earth's "twin". This is because Venus is "the closest planet to Earth in terms of density and size, and occasionally the closest in distence too". But this doesn't mean that it is possible for humans to live in the planet yet. The author suggests that we should keep studying Venus despite the danger it presents.

The author says this in a lot of ways. One way he does this is by giving us more information about Venus. This helps the reader understand how bad the conditions are in Venus. This also tells us that no matter the conditions humans should still explore it. This shows that the author is going to stay with his claim that we should keep on exploring it.

Another reason how the author supports his idea is by telling us that we've tried exploring it before. In the article it says "humans have sent numerous spacecraft to land on the cloud-draped world...Maybe this issue explains why not a single spaceship has tocuhed down on Venus in more than three decades." This shows us that Venus is a challenging planet for humans to study. With a thick atmosphere of almost 97% carbon dioxide blankets and temperatures averaging around 800 degrees Fahrenheit. This is a real challenge for humans.

However, the author also tells us that NASA is working on other approaches to studying Venus. For example in the article he says "some simplified electronics made of silicon carbide have been tested in a chamber simulating the chaos of Venus's surface...lasted for three weeks in such conditions". This helps the author support his claim by telling us that there has been some progress on studying Venus. Another example is NASA coming up with diffrent ideas to explore Venus. The author says "imagine a blimp-like vehicle hovering 30 or so miles above the roiling Venusian landscape". This helps prove how well the author supports his idea of pursuing Venus despite the dangeres it presentes.

In conclusion the author supports his idea well. This is because he gives the readers information on how astronomers tried and failed. But also that astronomers are not going to give up so they come up with new ideas. In the article is says "Striving to meet the challenge presented by Venus has value, not only because of the insight to be gained on the planet itself..". This shows that we are not going to give up on exploring Venus no matter the challenge.
