Question 89 of 100

What does the author mean by the phrase “existential hedge against planetary catastrophe”? Read the following passage and answer the questions based on the passage: The prospect of colonising Mars, long dismissed as the province of science fiction and utopian fantasy, is today the subject of earnest scientific inquiry and substantial corporate investment. The Red Planet, once regarded merely as a distant celestial curiosity, has now become the centrepiece of humanity's interplanetary ambitions. Space agencies and private enterprises alike have announced an array of bold initiatives: NASA's Moon -to-Mars architecture, the European Space Agency's Aurora Programme, and SpaceX's Starship project collectively embody a growing consensus that Martian settlement is not merely conceivable but operationally feasible within this century. Central to these missions is the challenge of sustaining human life across the 54 -million-kilometre void —a feat demanding breakthroughs in propulsion technology, closed-loop life-support systems, and radiation-hardened habitat design. The Martian atmosphere, composed predominantly of carbon dioxide and exerting only about one percent of Earth's atmospheric pressure, renders c onventional breathing impossible and exposes settlers to lethal doses of solar and galactic radiation. However, in-situ resource utilisation (ISRU) technology offers a partial remedy: converting Martian CO₂ and subsurface water ice into breathable oxygen and rocket propellant, dramatically reducing the payload burden of Earth-launched supply missions. Governance poses an equally formidable challenge. The 1967 Outer Space Treaty, crafted during the Cold War, explicitly prohibits national appropriation of cel estial bodies, yet is conspicuously silent on private property rights and corporate resource extraction—a lacuna that could precipitate jurisdictional disputes as commercial actors intensify their Martian interests. Psychological and physiological tolls of a minimum two-year round trip, including prolonged microgravity exposure and isolation -induced cognitive decline, further compound mission planners' concerns. Yet proponents argue that just as the colonisation of the New World —for all its ethical complexities—irrevocably expanded civilisation's horizons, the settlement of Mars represents an existential hedge against planetary catastrophe and an unprecedented catalyst for scientific discovery. Whether Mars becomes humanity's second home or remains a monumen t to terrestrial aspiration ultimately depends on the convergence of political will, technological ingenuity, and cross-border cooperation on an unprecedented scale.
