TPO 52

The reading passage explores the issue that sending people to an asteroid would actually be the best colonization option, the professor deals with the same issue. However, he principally maintains that the arguments used in the article have serious downsides and it is not practical to send people to an asteroid, which directly contradicts what the reading states. In order to substantiate his contention, the professor reveals 3 pieces of evidence to back up his idea.

To begin with, even though the passage suggests that with low gravity, it is easier for the spacecraft to carry much more equipment and less fuel for the trip back to Earth, the professor argues that the low gravity presents certain risks. What he uses to cast doubt on the reading is that people will lose the muscle and bone density when they stay in the space for a few months. That is to say, they may suffer from some disease under the low gravity. Obviously, the argument disapproves its counterpart in the article.

Moreover, the reading contends that the colonists or businesses sponsoring them could more than pay for the cost of their support by mining minerals and sending them back to Earth; on the contrary, the lecturer challenges that it is not the whole picture what it will be. There are some additional facts to be considered, like the cost to transport the metals. It will certainly reduce the profits and no one can guarantee that the valuable metals sold are able to reamain the same price with the increasing supply of the raw metals from the asteroids. Thus, the lecturer can not give a nod to the author in terms of the second point.

Finally, the author raises the issue that asteroids are a good option for colonization because some of them would be very easy to reach, whereas the presenter disagrees with it. The presenter claims that even though it is easy to reach, it does not mean that it is easy to return. The evidence he adopts to refute the passage is that the orbit is also moving away. When the asteroids get closer to Earth, they do not stay at the same point. As time goes by, the asteroids will travel away from Earth. It is a challenge for the colonists to return to Earth because of the long distance. Again, the presenter demonstrates that the third point does not hold.

In conclusion, based on the thorough analysis of whole situation in the reading passage, the professor has impressively revealed the fundamental argument that sending people to an asteroid would actually be the best colonization option is unconvincing.
