UNIT 5:
A SPACE FOR LIVING
by Randall White

Many people are concerned about the future of life on this planet. Dr. Gordon
Maxwell is so concerned about it that he has set up an experimental station to
develop ways to help us survive in outer space. Dr. Maxwell believes that this
is necessary because he claims that the earth will not be able to support its
growing population.

"Our population is said to be growing at an extremely rapid pace," he says. "By

the next century it will have grown so much that we won't be able to feed
everyone."
22 | P a g e

Dr. Maxwell claims that although the productivity of agriculture has increased,
it will not be able to keep up with the population for long. "As long as we keep
growing at this rate, we will have a significant problem in the future."

The population explosion is also known to have been affected by developments

in medicine. Doctors can now diagnose and cure many diseases that used to
limit the population growth. "Medicine is supposed to help us," says Dr.
Maxwell, "but it may actually threaten the survival of the human race."

Dr. Maxwell has developed an innovative way of resolving this problem. He

suggests that we look for other planets in the solar system where life may be
possible. Scientists expect to be able to send people to Mars someday,
according to Dr. Maxwell. Until then we need to be prepared. At Maxwell's
experimental station, scientists try to create conditions that approximate those
on Mars. They try to grow different kinds of plants and see which ones are
capable of surviving under those conditions.

Will people be prepared to give up their present lifestyle and agree to settle
on Mars? Who knows? According to Dr. Maxwell, they may have no choice.
