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 the reading section, the author discusses the difficulty to sending humans to Mars and provides three possible problems to help support his statement. The lecturer however, rebuts author\'s idea and states three potential plans to challenge and solve these issues.

To begin with, the author suggests that due to the limitation of cargo capacity, it\'s simply impossible to bring enough essential supplies such as food, water, and oxygen that is indispensable to support astronauts\' basic living. The lecturer proposes a technique called hydroponic, which will help solve the aforementioned issue. This method could cultivate plants without water, moreover, this technique can help recycle wasted water into drinkable water again.

Secondly, the authors mentions that zero-gravity environment would cause muscle mass loss and result in lower bone density. It could lead devastated consequence to astronauts in a two-year mission. On the contrast, the lecturer suggests that there have several scientists who worked in long-term space station programs , had already proved that it is totally feasible to avoid these negative effects by exercising and have vitamin to help keep their body healthy.

At the end, the authors indicates that without earth\'s magnetic field, spacecrafts to Mars will be exposed to dangerous space radiation. Moreover, constructing a shield is a unrealistic plan as well simply because it will add up another weight to the ship. The lecturer argues this statement by provide a fact that the sun will not always emit deathful space radiation. For this reason, spacecraft only need to bring a special instrument that could help detect radiation, and open up a small shield that doesn\'t take too much weight when the time is come.
