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.
A wonderful dream that human being explore to Mars is facing tremendous challenges. The reading passage proposes several major problems that would happen in extremely long-distance space traveling. The lecturer, moreover, suggests three possible solutions to these concerns, respectively.
First of all, the professor argues with the food supplement problem that essential foods, water and oxygen will be running out in a minimum two-year space trip by a new-invented product, Hydropunix. This special food can be well-packed into relatively small size as well as large number in spaceship and, therefore, provide sufficient food and water supplement. In addition, the recyclable resting such as water is able to reuse and the carbon dioxide can be transferred into oxygen.
Secondly, the professor suggests that human can concur zero-gravity environment through regular exercise. A astronomer, serving in International Space Station, has proved this statement by himself. Hence, it is possible for humankind to survive in the extremely low gravity circumstance.
Finally, the professor contends the statement that the radiation in cosmos is quite harmful for spaceman. In fact, the harmful radiation is only occasionally happened, and the astronomers can be protected in the special device.
