Secondly,humans need food,water and air to live. Scientists should be able to develop plants that can be grown on Mars. However, can these plants produce water for us 3.
There is a problem for us to live on Mars. Mars suck(吸力)us much less than the Earth does.4. To prevent this, humans on Mars have to wear special shoes to make themselves heavier.
There will probably be no school on Mars. Every student will have a computer at home which is connected to the Internet. Each student will also have an online teacher called“e-teacher”.
However,in some ways,life on Mars may not be better than that on the Earth today. Food will not be the same—meals will probably be in the form of pills(丸)and will not be as delicious as they are today.5. The spaceship will travel fast, so the journey to Mars will probably be very uncomfortable.
A. There is no answer now.
B. Also,space travel will make many people feel ill.
C. However,by 2100,spaceship can travel at half the speed of light.
