The reading passage and the lecture have conflicting opinions about whether or not Asteroids would actually be the best colonization option. The article strongly suggests that conquering Asteroids has a plenty of upsides. On the other hand, the listening articulates that colonizing this kind of space object is extremely risky and have a large number of downsides.
First, while the reading passage claims that it is safer to land and take off on asteroids due to lower gravity and as a consequence, a spaceship can carry more equipment to build the colony and less fuel to return, the professor thinks there are some health risks that are related to low gravity. For example, people tend to suffer from muscle mass and bone density loss.
Second, unlike the reading passage which believes it is profitable for businesses to sponsor the asteroid colonization by mining and selling precious metals, the professor takes some additional factors into account. He thinks the cost for transferring these metals might outweigh the benefits. Also, he wonders if the price of metals like gold or platinum will always remain the same, because once a kind of metal is produced in large quantity, the price generally will go down as the supply increases.
Third, it is said in the reading passage that it is easier to go to and return from asteroids as some of them periodically travel within or near Earth’s orbit. However, the professor argues that although reaching the asteroid might be easy, it could be extremely difficult to get back. Given that many asteroids travels in unusual orbital paths, they won’t stay close to Earth constantly. Moreover, they are likely to move far away from Earth, which makes it really challenging to come back.
Grammar and spelling errors:
Line 7, column 479, Rule ID: ALLOW_TO[1]
Message: Did you mean 'coming'? Or maybe you should add a pronoun? In active voice, 'challenge' + 'to' takes an object, usually a pronoun.
Suggestion: coming
...arth, which makes it really challenging to come back.
