In the Challenge of the Exploring Venus, the author suggests that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers I think he right, but I think that the dangers are too much to risk. In the story the author calls Venus the ''Evening Star'' and said that it was one of the brightest points in the sky, but it also said ''while Venus is simple to see from a good distance, but safe vantage point from each.'' I think what that means is that, you can't get close to Venus because it's too dangerous.

Some of the ways that Venus is too dangerous to go to is because we know what will happy if we go. We sent things up before and each previous mission was unmanned but for good reason, since not one spacecraft survived the landing for more than maybe a few hours. That's when we saw the issue and stopped sending up spacecrafts. Not one spaceship has touched down on Venus in more than three decades.

A thick atmosphere of 97% carbon dioxide covers Venus, also to add to that there's even more difficult clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric acid on Venus. On the planet the conditions are far more extreme than anything humans encounter on earth or anywhere so far. The atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we have on earth. Besides high pressure and unbearable heats, the weather is bad too. Erupting volcanoes, powerful earthquakes, and very frequent lighting strikes.

In the end, our travels on earth and farther shouldn't be limited but at the same time we are faceted with dangers and things we would strive to do better in, but we should do our best to look at the word without getting to close to danger.
