The reading passage and the lecture have a discussion about the possibility of humans' mission to Mars. The article mentions three potential problems. On the contrary, the lecturer considers none of them would affect the mission with certainty.

Thus, the reading passage has been refuted again.
Therefore, the speaker departs totally from the opinions on the topic made in the reading.
