The reading and lecture are both about the obstacles that might face the astronauts on the Mars trip. The author of the reading feels that there are three complications of the Mars trip. The lecturer challenges the claims made by the author. She is of the opinion that the scientists proposed solutions for each problem mentioned in the article.
To begin with, the author argues that there is not enough space in the space vehicle to carry the supplies for two years' trip. This specific argument is challenged by the lecturer. She claims that astronauts can use hydroponic. Additionally, she says that hydroponic should allow the astronauts to cultivate crops and to generate water and fresh air in the space vehicle.
Secondly, the writer suggests that the no-gravity is a huge problem that would face the astronauts on the trip. In the article, it is said that the lack of gravity would affect negatively the astronauts' health. The lecturer, however, rebuts this by mentioning that nowadays the astronauts are being sent to the space stations for months. She elaborates on this by bringing up the point that regular exercise and taking minerals and vitamins would help to overcome the health effects that might result from zero-gravity.
Finally, the author posits that space radiation is the third obstacle that might be dangerous to the astronauts' health. In contrast, the lecturer's position is that the radiation is not at a dangerous level. She notes that the sun occasionally radiates and during its radiation, the astronauts can protect themselves using shields.
