The reading material points out that the human can not live in venus and supports this idea by 3 reasons. In the lecture professor explains solution for every point made by article. He believes it is challenging but not impossible.

First, reading material claims that atmosphere pressure in venus is high enough that not any spacecraft could be close to it and would be crashed. The lecturer provides a solution for this issue by floating a station in 50 kilometer distance from the venus which in that area the pressure is equal to earth and the station would not be crushed as the pressure is higher in surface not in higher altitude from the venus surface.

Also, the author explaines the lack of oxygen as an issue for having the station in venus which cause a burden of importing water from earth. The professor points out that because the venus atmosphere has co2 and so2 they can use it in a reaction to produce o2 out of it. In this way the lack of o2 and water would not be an issue if they make it.

Lastly, the autor explains that little sunshine reaches to the venus because of thick cloud and they can not use sun power for their machines and their equipment. The professor illustrates that the cloud are not thick in 50 kilometer of venus surface and having a station at that altitude could benefit from the reflection of sun light from the venus surface and below and also uses the direct sun for their sun power design.
