Going to Mars
A: Did you read this article about Elon Musk? He’s the founder
and CEO of SpaceX, which is a private company that promotes
space exploration. He thinks humans will live on Mars, maybe as
soon as 2060.
B: Really? How will we get there?
A: SpaceX is already sending rockets into space. He thinks they’ll
have a rocket big enough to reach Mars by the mid-2020s.
B: Are those rockets going to take people to Mars?
A: Not right away. The first rockets will bring supplies. But landing
a heavy spacecraft safely on Mars will be difficult because of the
thin atmosphere.
B: When are people going to go to Mars?
A: Not long after. A spaceship will carry a crew into orbit. Once
there, the ship will use solar panels to get energy from the sun.
The crew will stay in orbit until Earth and Mars come close
together, which happens every 26 months. Then the trip to
Mars will be shorter.

Possible answers:
1. The art mentioned in the lecture is temporary. Taylor’s work
changes over time, but it will last. The location is important for
both the temporary art and Taylor’s art.
2. Whether the materials are more permanent like stone or more
temporary like chalk will affect the art. Weather and population
density in the location will also have an impact on the kind of
art produced. On the beach, you could find sand art. At the top
of a mountain, you could find snow sculptures. In a city park,
you could find performance art. On a lake or a river, you could
find floating art shows.

G Critical Thinking: Synthesizing (page 153)
Possible answers:
1. The environment is often the motivation for both temporary
and recycled art. The environment usually causes temporary art
to be temporary, for example, warmth melting ice sculptures,
rain washing away chalk drawings, and waves washing away
sand castles.
2. Many artists of both temporary and recycled art create
things because they want to have a positive impact on
the environment, but the materials they use in their work
are different. They are different from traditional painters
or sculptors because they are usually more abstract and
innovative. Their goal is not to create a lasting work of art, but
to make a statement.
