TPO-50
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 reading passage explores the issure of sending humans to Mars, proposing three difficulties that are impossible to settle. The speaker deals with the same issue, however, contrary to the author's standpoint, she thinks these obstacles can be overcome. she raises three specific points to support her idea.
First, the passage suggests that there will be no room to take enough resources like food, water and oxygen, because the trip takes over two years and the capacity is limited. Whereas, the speaker proposes a solution. she thinks that astronauts can grow plants in the water instead of soil, which will take less room and the plants can serve as food to consume, help recycle water and produce oxygen as well as absorbing carbon dioxide. Thus, the problem can be solved by this proposition.
Moreover, while the passage contends that staying in zero gravity for a long time will have a negative impact on human's body, the speaker maintains that the problem has been investigated and solved by practice. she points out that there have been some astronauts spending many months in zero-gravity. They do regular exercise to prevent muscle mass from decreasing, and eat vitamin and minerals to keep bone density. In other words, the health problems have been effectively settled.
Finally, despite the fact that the passage claims that being exposed to high level of space radiation in interplanetary space is detrimental to astronauts' health and it is impractical to build a shield to protect the spaceship due to its weight, the speaker hold fast to the opposite standpoint. she point out that the harmful radiation just happens occasionally. Therefore, the spaceship can be equipped with a special instrument to detect radiation, and only a part of the spaceship needs to be shielded. When harmful radiaiton arrives, the astronauts can go to the shielded area.
