Part III: Read the following passage and choose the best answer Write your answers in the corresponding numbered boxes (15pts)

The United States government is currently taking a serious look at the moon and Mars as potential places for future human settlement for a number of reasons First, they could be a future source of natural resources desperately needed on the Earth Second, the moon could serve as a training ground or a kind of stepping stone for later journeys to Mars Therefore, the moon is already on NASA’s docket for further exploration within the next couple of decades, which, at least to some experts, is completely unnecessary mainly due to the needless risks involved

Mars looming as the eventual long-term goal, serious questions exist as to whether the

dangers and difficulties of a lunar settlement are too extreme and unnecessary The moon’s relatively harsh environment and the greater potential of natural resources on Mars are major reasons that make lunar settlements too great a liability and why the moon should be bypassed

One major reason a lunar settlement is too hazardous is the contrast between the

environment of the moon and the red planet Numerous scientists believe the moon is too

difficult for human settlement as compared to Mars The fact that the moon has no atmosphere poses the greatest threat to human beings Atmosphere is crucial because it protects humans and all other life from continuous bombardment cosmic radiation caused by sources such as the sun

This radiation is especially dangerous to humans because it increases the risk of cancer and can negatively alter and mutate DNA On the other hand, while Mars’s atmosphere is significantly

thinner than the Earth’s, at least it has one and would create some sort of protective barrier for humans

Another important characteristic necessary for sustainable human settlement is water, of

which the moon is believed to have none If lunar settlements are to be successful, water will be

a key component and must be brought with the colonists and continually supplied by further expeditions from the Earth, which means they will have a limited capacity of it Conversely, Mars contains vast quantities of water ice, dry ice, and also snow There is also ample evidence that water once existed at the surface of Mars and might return in the future if the planet warms

With increased technological advances in conversion capabilities, the potential for settlers

to remain on Mars indefinitely by being increasingly self – sufficient makes Mars a much more attractive goal as a space colony than the moon

Future colonists will not only benefit from potential water sources on Mars; the planet is also rich in other basic elements vital to sustained life These resources include nitrogen, oxygen, and hydrogen Mars also contains many minerals that contain iron, silicon, and magnesium, which can be used in productive ways For example, silicon can be used to make solar cells to store energy and create electricity Hydrogen can be extracted from water sources

and used as fuel Moreover, it can be combined with nitrogen to form fertilizing materials

necessary to a sustainable colony Due to these factors, Mars would be a more successful candidate for exploration and settlement because it contains the basic resources necessary for humans to survive more independently of aid from the Earth than they would on the moon

Clearly, any future settlements on Mars or the moon will be monumental efforts for the

space agencies and astronauts involved The expenses incurred will be extreme and are a further

reason why plans and implementation should focus on the project, which has the greater potential of long-term success While the moon may serve as a temporary training ground for Mars, it could end up becoming a major diversion from Mars and place humans in too great a risk with too little benefit Because the environment of Mars is more similar to that of Earth and

it contains important resources necessary to sustain life, it should be the one and only option for any kind of long-term human settlement Furthermore, the moon has been eclipsed by mankind,
