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.
The lecture challenge the specific arguments presented in the reading passage basically on these following points.
At very fist, to solve the problem of needed supplies, the professor brings up that a special kind of plants which are able to survive in the spaceship with no soil can perfectly manege the requirements of food, water, and oxygen. Due to the easily growing of the plants, astronauts are allowed to gain foods from cultivating them conveniently, what`s more, they also play a role in recycling water. Besides, as we all know plants absorb the carbon dioxide and release the oxygen, in this case, everything about supplies are solved.
Second, for the long time trip in zero-gravity environment, the professor argues that by well trained astronauts will not face this type of problem, because by learning to use proper equipment, regular exercise can reduce the lose of muscle mass, meanwhile some vitamin does help with lower bone density.
And for the last concerns about the space radiation, it turn out that the Sun only radiate is occasionally, not all the time, so that scientists can solve this problem through building less shield for the spaceship and stall a detective machine in it. When at normal time, astronauts are safe to work as usual, since the machine find the radiation, going back to the small shield to get cover. Then additional weight is avoided.
