Many scientists believe it would be possible to maintain a permanent human presence on Mars or the Moon. On the other hand, conditions on Venus are so extreme and inhospitable that maintaining a human presence there would be impossible.
First, atmospheric pressure at Venus’ surface is at least 90 times greater than the pressure at Earth’s surface. This means that a force of 100 kilograms is pressing down on every square centimeter of surface. All spacecraft that have landed on Venus have been crushed by this extreme pressure within an hour of landing. Almost anything humans might land on Venus would be crushed as well.
Second, as far as we know, there are no reservoirs of water on Venus’ surface, and the planet’s atmosphere, made up mostly of carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and sulfuric acid, contains hardly any oxygen or water vapor. Water and oxygen would therefore probably have to be supplied to Venus from Earth. The idea of ensuring a regular supply of water and oxygen from Earth is impractical in the extreme and would probably defeat the purpose of establishing a permanent station on Venus.
Third, very little sunlight reaches the planet’s surface. About 60 percent of the sunlight that hits Venus is reflected back into space by the thick clouds that fill the atmosphere, which means that only 40 percent of the sunlight can get through the clouds. Below these clouds is a dense layer of carbon dioxide, which blocks even more light, so very little light reaches the surface. The lack of light would prevent the use of solar power cells, so humans could not get electricity to power their machines and equipment.
In the reading passage, the author propses several evidence to illutrate Venus is inhosipotable for human living. However, the speaker in the lecture believes that it is possible to habitate on Venus by constructing a floating station.
First of all, the author in the passages claims that atmospheric pressue at Venus's surface is so high that spacecraft and human could be ccushed when landing. On the contrary, the lecturer deems this problem can be addressed by building a station floating 15 kilometer above the surface where the atmospheric pressure is much lower. This is becuase pressure decreases as the height increases, and the pressure 15 kilometers above of the surface is similar to that of on the earth. Therefore, living in the floating station is harmless for human-being.
Secondly, the passage says that the lack of water and oxygen on Venus requires human import those resources from earth, which is impractical. However, the lecturer counters this idea by emphasizing that chemical compounds existing in the atmosphere could be used to produce necessary water and oxygen in the floating station. As a result, there is no need to import the resoiurce from the earth by utilization the compounds obtained in atmosphere.
Finally, opposing to the author's third point that littile sun could be used to power machins due to the reflection and thick carbon dioxide clouds, the speaker contends that sunlight is relatively abundant at 15 kilometers above the surface where clouds is not that thick. Moreover, the station could also use the light reflected by the clouds, transforming to electricity fo rthe machines and euipment
