"The Challenge of Exploring Venus" talks about the different aspects and dangers of Venus. It tells of what we have learned and what we have been trying to acomplish since we (Scientists and Nasa from Earth) first attempted to land spacecrafts over three decades ago. So the question is, Is Venus a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents? The author of

"The Challenge of Exploring Venus" supports this idea using facts about Earth and newly learned facts about Venus.

What have we done to further investigate this planet? According to this article,

"The Challenge of Exploring Venus" we "- have sent numerous spacecraft to land on this cloud-draped world." The author reports that not one spacecraft lasted more than a few hours, luckily we sent the missions "unmanned". He says this is the main reason why no one has tried to explore further. Although this setback we still continue to work towards learning more about Venus the "evening star", coming up with different ideas for example from the article we could hover over the planet at a safe distance.

That is almost nine times as hot and would kill most living things that land there if you think about that based on the authors facts. Also due to atmospheric pressure being so high those together is mentioned in paragraph 3 line 4 to , "- crush even a submarine accustomed to diving to the deepest parts of our oceans and would liquefy many metals." Which makes this planet not only dangerous but inhospitable.

Venus is, according to the author of this article "often referred to as Earth's twin" Most people who have learned about the solar system would know this neighbor planet "- is the closest planet to Earth in terms of density and size". The author even says that, "Long ago, Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like Earth" Most scietists just want to learn more about the planets that surround the world we live in.
