TPO-50
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.
In this set of materials, the reading passage discusses that journey to mars need to overcome some serious problems which today we cannot fix them, and shared three of these problems. While in the listening the professor casts doubt on what was presented in the text and believes that travel to mars would be definitely challenging, but scientists have been proposed several solutions for these problems.
First of all, in the text, it is clearly mentioned that travel to mars is a very long trip and providing enough food and other supplies would be a big challenge. However, the professor claims that we can use the hydroponic technic for growing crops on water which need very fewer space rather soil. In addition, we can recycle this water and use it as drinking water. Moreover, the growing plants would absorb CO2 and produced fresh air in the spacecraft.
In addition, the professor disagrees with this idea that the presence of people in the zero-gravity environment on mars produced health problems that cannot aviod. She says that today astronauts spend a long time on space on zero-gravity and this condition did not create serious health damage to them. astronauts can through regular exercise decrease the rate of losing muscle mass, and by consuming calcium, they can reduce the speed of losing bone density.
Finally, in the text, it is stated that the astronauts would be exposed to the very dangerous solar radiation. The professor subscribes that sun occasionally produce those particular dangerous radiations and we can use some instruments to monitor radiation and astronauts do their activities in the unshielded portion until the dangerous radiation pass from other parts.
