Read the following passage and answer the questions given below.

It is said that science is a field which does not involve creativity. If a child shows high creativity, then the child is advised not to go into the field of science, as science is a more logical and practical field. This is wrong, as creativity is an important skill for children aspiring to be a research scientist or an inventor. Science and creative thinking have a direct relationship. Without creative thinking, one cannot think of interesting questions, develop theories behind phenomena, and find a way to test out their theories. One cannot develop creative thinking without science, as the subject broadens the flexible minds of young children. As an inventor, you need creativity in order to find solutions to a particular problem and make a suitable design of any product. The field of architecture is a perfect blend of maths, science and creativity. It allows a person to think of different designs of buildings while keeping in mind the plot, the people, and the environment surrounding the building. Clinical psychology and Medicine are the fields in which you use logical and critical thinking to figure out the problem with the patient and creativity in figuring out the best way to cure the patient. There are many interesting fields which require both science and creativity. It is important to view all careers and the child's likes and opinions with an open mind in order to choose the right field.

निम्नलिखित गद्यांश के आधार पर पाँच प्रश्न दिए गए हैं। गद्यांश को ध्यानपूर्वक पढ़ें तथा प्रत्येक प्रश्न के चार विकल्पों में से उत्तर के रूप में सही विकल्प चुनें|

काल से ही मंगल ग्रह एक मिथक की तरह मानवीय प्रेरणा और आकर्षण का केंद्र रहा है। अंतरिक्ष वैज्ञानिकों के लिए यह शोध का एक दिलचस्प विषय भी रहा है और परग्रही जीवन की खोज का एक वैध उम्मीदवार भी है। 1960 के दशक से ही मंगल अंतरिक्ष अभियानों का एक लोकप्रिय गंतव्य रहा है। लेकिन अब पहली बार नासा ने निजी क्षेत्र से वाणिज्यिक मंगल मिशन पर प्रस्ताव आमंत्रित किए हैं।

1960 के बाद से मंगल ग्रह पर अब तक करीब 50 मिशन भेजे जा चुके हैं, जिनमें से 31 कामयाब रहे हैं, जो बुरा औसत नहीं है। 2016 में शिआपरेल्ली लेंडर की दुर्घटना जैसी विफलताएं भी मिली हैं। इसमें संदेह नहीं कि इन मिशनों से मंगल ग्रह के बारे में प्रचुर जानकारियां प्राप्त हुई हैं। इसके वायुमंडल, कक्षा और भूविज्ञान के अलावा यहां की सतह से दरवाजों और चेहरे जैसी अद्भुत छवियां भी दिखी हैं। हालांकि वैज्ञानिक इन सभी छवियों को चट्टानें ही बता रहे हैं, लेकिन इस ग्रह को लेकर आम लोगों की बढ़ती रुचि से पता चलता है कि यह हमारी कल्पनाओं में किस कदर व्याप्त है। एक सामान्य अंतरग्रहीय अंतरिक्ष मिशन की लागत करीब एक अरब अमेरिकी डॉलर होती है। यानी पिछले कुछ वर्षों में दुनिया की तमाम अंतरिक्ष एजेंसियों ने मंगल ग्रह पर करीब 50 अरब अमेरिकी डॉलर खर्च किए हैं और ये सिर्फ कैमरे, रोवर्स और लैंडर्स भेजने के लिए हैं, लोगों को वहां भेजना तो अगले स्तर की बात होगी। दशकों से नासा और दूसरी अंतरिक्ष एजेंसियों ने अंतरिक्ष मिशनों पर भारी रकम खर्च की है।

लेकिन 2020 के दशक में अंतरिक्ष क्षेत्र में अन्वेषण को समृद्ध बनाने वाली तकनीकें वाणिज्यिक दुनिया में तेजी से विकसित हो रही हैं। इनमें से एक उदाहरण है एलन मस्क का स्पेस एक्स, जिसके कई उद्देश्यों में से एक है मंगल मिशन और अंतिम लक्ष्य है मानवता को अंतरग्रही बनाना। जहां नासा का दृष्टिकोण इन अंतरिक्ष परियोजनाओं को लेकर रूढ़िवादी रहा है, वहीं स्पेस एक्स बहुत सारे बदलाव तेजी से करता है और अपनी विफलताओं से जल्दी सीखता भी है। स्पेस एक्स अकेला नहीं है। खासकर अमेरिका में अंतरिक्ष तक पहुंचा देने वाले वाणिज्यिक प्रदाताओं का उद्योग काफी तेजी से फल-फूल रहा है। ऐसा नहीं है कि नासा अपनी परियोजनाओं को बंद कर रहा है। वह सिर्फ वाणिज्यिक प्रदाताओं को जोड़ने की दिशा में आगे बढ़ रहा है। 20 साल पहले की तुलना में चीजें जिस तरह से बदली हैं, उसे देखते हुए यह कदम अपरिहार्य भी लग रहा था। महंगे अंतरिक्ष मिशनों को सस्ता और ज्यादा कुशल बनाने के लिए भी ऐसी पहल जरूरी थी।

वाणिज्यिक क्षेत्र की कंपनियों को भी इससे प्रोत्साहन मिला है, जो अंतरिक्ष मिशनों को पूरा करने के लिए लगातार नव-प्रवर्तन कर रही हैं। हालांकि ये अभी बिल्कुल शुरुआती दिन हैं और व्यावसायिक दृष्टिकोण को खुद को साबित करना होगा।
