Not to mention the extra gravity. We'll need all of the gravity we can get if we want to stave off muscle and bone degeneration.
It's possible that Mars' light gravity (40% of Earth's) isn't even enough to keep us healthy without excessive exercise.
- fudged71 14y agoIf a baby were born on mars, I am curious how their growth would be affected by the difference in gravity. Would their muscle/bone development be cause problems due to evolutionary effects, or would they grow to match the physics of this planet, and therefore be physically fine. Perhaps the only issue would be growing up on one planet and moving to another.
