Rate the following essay on its writing, argument, and language skills:
In the article "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" the author is suggesting that Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents, and I think that she does a very good job backing herself up. In this article she gives the things that are wrong with going to Venus but she also gives the things that are good and reasons why you should make a trip to Venus. The author of the story stays with the way she feels throughout the whole article making a strong and valid point. With the author not just telling you all the good things about going up to Venus is making her statement even more valuable. Becuase she is telling you upfront that their are some altercations and disadvantages of going but their are many ways that you can compromize and make it more safe for you to travel and be by Venus.

In the article the author states "Astonomers are fascinated by Venus becuase it may well have once been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system." "...Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like Earth." "...Venus has some features that are analogous to those on Earth." "...mincludes familiar features such as valleys, mountains, and craters." These four quotes from the story are evidence that the auother put saying that Venus has features that are like Earth. Some other quotes from the story that are crutial in helping the auother prove that Venus is a good planet to explore despite the dangers is "NASA's possible solution to the hostile conditions on the surface of Venus would allow scientist to float above the fray. Imagine a blimp-like vehicle hovering 30 or so miles above the roiling Venusian landscape." These two quotes are telling us that if you were to go to Venus you wouldnt have to step foot on the panet you could stay in a vehicle and take pictures. And the radiation, higher altitude, and air pressure would be no different than in a plane above a storm because in the article it states "Just as our jet airplanes travel higher altitude to fly over storms, a vehicle hovering over Venus would avoid the unfriendly ground conditions..." and the author also states in the article "...air pressure would be close to that of sea level." "...radiation would not exceed Earth levels. Not easy conditions, but survivable for humans."

All these quotes show that there has been varios of ways to make it safe for humans to travel to Venus. And in the text it says "...some simplified electronics made of silicon carbide have been tested in a chamber simulating the chaos of Venus's surface and have lasted three weeks in such conditions" this quotes is saying that not only do you not have to get out of the vehicle that goes up to Venus to see it and take pictures, that you can have an object that can pick things up so you can take it back down to Earth to examine it. The author states "Striving to meet the challenge presented by Venus has value, not only because of the insight to be gained on the planet itself, but also because human curiosity will likely lead us into many equally intimidating endeavors." This is saying that humans want to explore Venus, and that getting to go up there is going to answer many of the questions that they might have and it also answers all the curiosity that they have about the planet. The author has a very valid point at the end that makes you think it says "... not be limited by dangers and doubts but should be expanded to meet the very edges of imagination and innovation." She is saying that you should be scared and worried about all the things that could go wrong but think about the things that you will see and be able to encounter while on your trip to Venus. And the dangers of the trip are always a think you need to work out but through out the article they give ways you can fix them and make it safe for you to travel all the way up to Venus.
