The possibility to live on Mars

The passage was about the possibility of constructing a permanent station for humans on Mars. According to the reading passage, this idea is not feasible because of some reasons: The atmospheric pressure at Venus' surface is dramatically higher than that of Earth. Venus suffers from water shortage and oxygen deficiency. Thick clouds, and high levels of carbon dioxide block much of the sunlight to Venus. However, the professor believes that the idea is fully possible using a brilliant solution: maintaining floating stations in the Venus' atmosphere and 50 kilometers far from its surface, which would be something like balloons. This solution enables us to tackle the mentioned challenges provided in the reading section. First, although the pressure on the Venus' surface is drastically high, based on a scientific fact, which says the more distance, the less pressure, the pressure of our floating station would be equal to that of Earth. As a result, there would be no danger for humans, and their equipment would remain safe from being crashed. Second, despite water and oxygen deficiency at the Venus' surface, it is possible to gain these vital resources by producing them. Accordingly, as there are a variety of different chemical compounds on Venus, such as carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and sulfuric acid, there is the possibility for scientists to produce water and oxygen to survive on Venus by using the obtained chemical compounds. Third, although it is still cloudy in the 50 kilometers distance from Venus, the clouds are not too thick in that distance; Therefore, there would be enough sunlight to be used as solar power. Moreover, according to the reading, the clouds surrounding Venus reflect the sunlight; Therefore, there is the possibility to exploit the reflected beams of light as an additional source of energy, which means the flouting station can make use of both direct sunlight from the sun, and the indirectly reflected beams to generate the required amount of electricity.
