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 listening totally disputes the reading on the topic of difficulties to send astronauts to Mars. Firstly, the reading says that the space vehicles are not capable to carry enough resources, such as food and oxygen, for the two-year long trip. However ,the lecturer asserts that this problem can be solved by using hydro phonics. The astronauts can grow plants on the space vehicle. It do not take a lot of space but create provide the resources astronauts need in long term. The plants they grow provide them food, recycle water, and fresh air.
Second, the passage implies that staying in a zero-gravity environment is harmful for the astronauts physical health. Yet, the speaker disputes it and stresses that there are many astronauts who have successfully survive under this condition. By using technology, astronauts still can work out regularly in the space ship, which will maintain their muscle mass. Also, they take vitamins and minerals to help keep their bone density. In other words, there are solutions to living in zero-gravity conditions for a long period of time.
Last but not least, the reading says that the astronauts exposing under the radiation from the sun is dangerous. However ,the lecturer points out the fact that the sun radiation is not always dangerous for human. The radiation is only too strong for occasionally. By building a small shelter in the space ship, astronauts can stay in it to avoid harm when the vehicle detects strong radiation. Otherwise, they work in the usual place
