IX. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions.
Have you ever had a dream about traveling to another planet in our solar system?
If you have, there It an actual programme that is happening right now, and it hopes to
send people to Man in 2023. Known as the Man One Mission, it will send a crew of four
people on a one-way mission to colonize Man. Those chosen people will have to be ready
to say good-bye to the earth forever, as there will not be a return trip.
For the people chosen, they will have to learn to do many different things. First of
all, they will be living the rest of their lives with just a handful of other people, so they all
will have won't be very spacious, so they will have to deal with that condition as well. If
they feel homesick, they will only be able to communicate with people back on the earth
via e-mail and videos and audio sent back and forth. However, there won't be any real-
time communication. Even at the speed of light, communication between the earth and
Mars takes about 20 minutes.
Whether the Mars One Mission will actually happen is the big question that a lot
of people are asking. There is an enormous skepticism in the science community, and
Wired magazine gave the mission a miserable score of two out of ten on its probability
scale. However, for those who dream to go to Mars, at least they can say there is a
possibility that it could happen.
