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.
Based on the given materials, the article as well as the lecture discusses traveling to the mars. The author states that due to some proposed problems this mission is impossible. The lecturer provides several ideas to repudiate this problem.
Intially, it is alleged in the reading that the cargo of a spaceship is limited and while a travel to the mars can takes two years it is impossible to supply enough food, water, and oxygen for the crew. However, the lecturer explains the Hydropanics technique which is cultivating plant in water so it occupies less space. Also she alludes to the fact not only that these plants release water in vapor which can be aggregated and be used but also absorb carbon dioxide, as a result astrounautes will have fresh air and water.
Second, the writer proclaims that living for too long in zero gravity, people on the mars will suffer from severe medical damages as the loose muscle and bone mass. Yet again, the speaker underscores that these problems can be solved. People on the ship can excersice to prevent muscle reduction and by consuming vitamins and calcium they can prevent the bone density lose.
The last point of contention between the listening and the reading passages is being exposed to space radiation. The author mentions that while on earth the magnetic field protect us from sun's radiations, in the space carrying an artificial shield would add too much weight. On the other hand, the lecturer explains that since sun's activity is not constant so is not the space radiations. The people in the space will not be exposed to these radiation all the time so there is no need for a big shield. They can equip the ship with a system to monitor the activities plus a small shield and when needed go to a protected area.
