10. When should humans start for the stars?
A) As soon as possible, since the distance is so huge;
B) It doesn’t matter, as you can’t live long enough to arrive;
C) 50 years from now, because faster methods of travel can be developed, so you arrive earlier;
D) 200 years from now, because we need more energy to start a spaceflight.

19 Which is the third step of Nasa’s plan to make the Mars habitable?
- Once carbon dioxide evolves in the atmosphere, it will form an ozone layer, shielding the surface from the biologically-lethal solar ultraviolet radiation.
- Once oxygen evolves in the atmosphere, it will form an ozone layer, shielding the surface from the biologically-lethal solar ultraviolet radiation.
- Once carbon monoxide evolves in the atmosphere, it will form an ozone layer, shielding the surface from the biologically-lethal solar infra violet radiation.
- Once oxygen evolves in the atmosphere, it will form an ozone layer, shielding the surface from the biologically-lethal solar infra violet radiation.
