Scientists are considering the possibility of sending humans to Mars in the coming decades. Although there have been successful manned missions to the Moon in the 1960s and 1970s, Mars is 150 times further away from Earth than the Moon is. Thus the project of sending humans to Mars would require solving an array of problems the Moon missions did not have to face. One problem is that a round-trip to Mars and back is likely to take at least two years. The trip to the Moon lasted only a few days, and it was easy to bring enough supplies of food, water, and oxygen; but the cargo capacity of space vehicles is too limited to put on board the food, water, and oxygen required by a crew for a period of two years. Without those essentials, though, a Mars mission is impossible. A second problem is that astronauts on the Mars mission would be in the zero-gravity environment of space for many months at a time. Spending a long time in the zero-gravity environment has negative effects on the human body, such as decreased muscle mass and lower bone density. Over the course of a two-year mission, the effects would be so severe, they would make it impossible for humans to make the trip without experiencing grave medical problems. Finally, astronauts on a mission to Mars would be exposed to dangerous levels of space radiation, much of which comes in the form of charged particles emitted by the Sun. Earth's magnetic field, which normally protects us from dangerous solar radiation, would not be able to protect a spaceship traveling in interplanetary space. Constructing a shield that would protect the whole spaceship from space radiation is at present impossible because it would add too much weight to the ship.
The lecturer challenges the topic proposed in the reading that the project of sending humans to mars would require solving an array of problems. And she presumes that scientists already have proposed solution to these problems.
First, the article suggests that a round-trip to mars and back is likely to take at least two years, so food, water and oxygen would too limited. However, the professor points out that hydroponics could be planted to grow in recycled water to cultivate crops. And it would produce water vapor and absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen that used to breath. Thus, it could fix the problem of limited essentials.
Second, the essay supposes that astronauts would be in zero-gravity environment of space for many months at a time. But the lecturer supports that many astonauts stay in spacestations for several months. Plus, they could use techniques to resolve the problem. they can have regular exercise to prevent muscle mass decreasing and bone desity slowing down. Hence, the problem could be solved.
Third, the passage indicates that astronauts would be exposed to dangerous levels of space radiation, much of which comes in the form of charged particles emitted by the Sun. Nevertheless, the professor argues that the radiation is not at dangerous level all the time. And astronauts could use equipments to monitor solar radiation and build a shield that is not too much heavy. When the radiation is not severe, they could stay outside. When the instrument detects dangerous radiation, they could stay in the shield until the radiation passes.
