The story speaks about how the astronauts cope with boredom in space.
Explanation:
The article "Danger! This Mission to Mars Could Bore You To Death" is written by Maggie Koerth-Baker. The article begins with six astronauts living on the slopes of volcano for a project named HI-SEAS.
They began with a pretending game of "What if we lived on Mars?" The astronauts are studying how people react on spending large amount of time in space. According to the article, it takes eight months on each way and the astronauts get to spend a large amount of time in the space and they must get bored of these long times.
The writer reveals that these chronic boredom times can be very dangerous as it makes the astronauts day dream and make them depressed also. So, they should engage themselves in various tasks to avoid getting bored as it involves the risk of life of other crew members as well.
A time I judged someone by their appearance was when I was at the hospital for a checkup. A guy, who was in a wheel chair, came in yelling and screaming very loudly and being very rude to the people around him. Everyone, even the staff members judged this guy by how he came in and acted all crazy. I assumed that he was on drugs or something else, but in reality I shouldn't have judged him, as well as the staff members that were working that day. A physician who has taken care of this guy for a while came and talked to him in a calm and gentle voice to this guy, and he just bursted into tears. The guy told the physician that he had enough with all the treatments and appointments he had to go through to get better. I shouldn't have judged him by the way he acted and the way he appeared in-front of everyone because in the end I didn't know his story and I should have considered being in his place and feeling what he had to go through.
