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 Marsand 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 if would add too much weight to the ship.
The lecturer explained three different solutions to overcome the problems encountered in Mars mission
First, author mentioned the limitation of space vehicle to carry as much as food and water for a round trip of two years. The lecture thinks that it can be solved by hydroponic, which is a technique of growing plants in water rather than the soil. As hydroponics needs little space it can be easily cultivated in a spacecraft. Also she mentioned that as all plants inhale carbon dioxide and exhale oxygen,scientist in the space ship can get fresh air. She added to the point that hydroponic technology can recycle water, thus the problem of scarcity of fresh water can also be solved.
Second, the heath problems including loosing muscle mass and lower bone density due to low gravity can be easily resolved by regular exercise and vitamin and nutrient supplements.
Third, professor argues that sun radiation are not always harmful. He points out the fact that it is possible to make a small shield or shelter which can easily give protection during the time of sun's harmful radiation. It is also possible to keep certain radar instruments which can alarm when sun radiates dangerous rays.
All in all, professor clearly explained three methods to recover from the dangers of Mars expedition.
