Asteroids are large space objects made of rock and ice. There are hundreds of thousands of asteroids in our solar system. Though we often hear ideas about establishing colonies of humans to live and work on our Moon or our neighboring planet, Mars, some think that sending people to an asteroid would actually be the best colonization option for a number of reasons.
The reading states that sending people to an asteroid is actually the best colonization option. However, the professor in the listening material strongly objects and points out the logical fallacy of the reading.
First and foremost, the author in the reading argues that the low gravity on the asteroids will make landing safer and allow the spacecraft to take off again easily. However, the lecturer offers an opposite stand that low-gravity environment can also cause risks including loss of muscle mass and bone density. Astronauts, for instance, suffer from health problems related to muscle and bone due to exposure to low-gravity environment. Colonists, on the other hand, who spend much longer time on asteroids than astronauts can catch more serious health problems.
Futhermore, although the lecturer adimits that there are huge amount of valuable metals buried in asteroids stated in the reading material, yet she asserts that compared to the cost of supporting travelling in space and transporting metals, it is not necessarily profitable. Besides, there is no guarantee that the metal price will remain stable for the reason that once plenty of mining minerals was imported, the supply would exceed temporary demand and lead to a decrease in price.
Finally, the professor discusses that it will be difficult to return to earth despite the fact in the reading passage that some asteroids are easy to reach. The asteroid orbit is different from that of planets. Its orbit is irregular that the orbit can move far away from the earth even if currently at one point it is close to the earth. The special trait cannot guarantee that colonists can return at the exact point where asteroids are close to the earth.
