The author explains that the pressure would be comparable to sea level on earth, tempature would be around 170 degrees. The author states that "Not easy conditions but survivable for humans." The mission would propose great danger and it would be a expontential battle, but with the right people and technology it could be done and accomplished. The benefit is the knowledge gained from this great planet that has had the world beat for a long time, it is time to step up to the challenge and explore Venus for the people of this world.
