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 article states that the project of sending humans to Mars would require solving an array of problems while the professor asserts that there are scientists have already come up with solutions to deal with those problems.
First, the author asserts that the trip to Mars and back is likely to take at least two years. However, the capacity of space vehicles is limited to bring the food, water and oxygen required a crew for a period of that long. Nevertheless, the professor argues that there is a solution called hydrophex, which is growing plants in space vehicles. It can not only make astronauts be able to calculate food but also release water that can turn to drinking water. Also, plants can also turn CO2 to fresh air.
Second, the author maintains that spending a long time in the zero-gravity environment has negative effects on the human body. However, the professor states that there are several technologies can solve those harm to the human body. For example, regular exercise can temper the decrease in muscle mass, and taking vitamins can slow down the lower of bone density.
Third, the author asserts that the astronauts would be exposed to the dangerous level of space radiation that much of which emitted by the Sun. Nevertheless, the professor states that the space radiation is not in danger levels all the time. She explains that the Sun only particular active in some time, and in those active time, astronauts can hide in the special instrument which is equipped on the space vehicle. Moreover, the special instrument would not add too much weight on the space vehicles.
