Passage 2:
Lastly, it is still remained a question on the way astronaut can overcome the situation when they fail to reach mutual agreement. When there is obligation to stick together in confined places over an extended period of time, conflict might arise even between closed-knitted friends. Congested and lack of privacy living space is one of the contributors of stress among astronauts. In addition, the discomfort can also be built up because outer space expedition is not encouraged due to its jeopardy (Clinton, 2003).

Passage 3:
In the letter that was published on Time Magazine, Cory Brunish (2004) questions the reasons scientists are wasting too much time on space expedition to Mar while it provided non-related solution to improve the Earth. Those fortunes could have spent on our planet’s development. The desired resulted in finding solution for epidemics, environmental pollution and helping the hunger would have been more achievable if we had used the money for these reasons. We should prioritize serious issues on Earth such as homelessness, poverty and unemployment, yet we spend time on space exploration despite potential risk it might bring.

Passage 4:

While traveling to Mars, pace is everything. Not only because the long term travel in a limited area is distressing but also astronauts might suffer from harmful radiation. In comparison to the orbit and the path to moon, there is lack of Earth’s magnetic field in deep space. As a consequence, astronauts are more  unprotected to the lethal grandiose energy (Kluger,2004).

According to Clinton (2003), mental health ofastronauts confer the second crucial issue. Restricting them for a long time in darkness and harmful places lead to anxiety. Psychological disorder such as isolation and frustration are other impact on them (p18).

Astronauts get let off steam when interpersonal conflict develops. It develops among them because of irritation due to staying in claustrophobic place for a long period of time where there is little privacy and busy work schedule. For e.g. even if we spend a long period of time with our favorite friends it causes irritation to us. Furthermore, it is very risky to be in space which is more stressful contributing more conflicts (Clinton, 2003)

Brunish (2004) states that despite of spending billions to go to Mars there may not be ameliorate on our planet. Those amount could rather be used to enhance our planets basic needs like feeding the poor, curing medical conditions and preventing pollution. Instead of challenging these dangers of the galaxy we should concentrate on the economic concern of the earth. (p9)

                  A long travel in bounded space could be painful, hence velocity in essential to Mars. Exposure to deep space radiation could be mortal to astronauts. The earth’ s magnetic field protect us from this dangerous radiation, because of this a travel to the moon is less harmful than go to the Mars affirm Kluger (2004 ,p48).
