so when you first arrive on mars, you'll have simulated super-human powers haha

yeah but they have to constantly exercise to keep their leg muslces healthy, those who spend a life time on mars would have weaker leg muscles and would grow taller than people on Earth
there was a program on discovery science that said people living on mars could potentially evolve into a totally different species, given long enough

yes but it wouldnt matter because they would have all the muscle they needed, if they did come back to earth they would find life more difficult physically but not incredibly hard.
Anything seperated would evolve into a different species given long enough...But it wouldnt happen for a very very long time, theyd look different, but thats normal...

If I'm not mistaken, they only need to exercise so reentry isn't drastically painful.
Somebody should write a sci-fi book about that, imo.

Mars is one-tenth the gravity of Earth. Imagine you are a budding young man who can bench a massive 100 pounds. Then, someone uses a gravity beam and makes the weights increase tenfold, to 1000 pounds. It would be incredibly hard.

Correction: Mars is 0.107 times the mass of Earth. The gravity on Mars is roughly 38% of Earth's. |

Oh. The analogy still holds, although it's slightly less exaggerative.

Interesting word choice:hope.
Hope for what exactly? An answer? To what question? |

hope that our species is smart enough, wise enough to succeed and survive.
if we expand into space, it will raise our survival chances dramatically.

Not only does muscle mass fall in low gravity but the calcium in bones dissolves as well leading to extremely bad problems.
And I'm against terraforming mars because it's the only really feasible chance we have of discovering life on another planet, even if it is very simple and fossilized. Discovering extraterrestrial life must be one of the greatest feats that humankind could achieve. Maybe we would think about ourselves in an entirely new light, that's gotta be good.
Anyhoo in other news, Britain is going to the moon! Yay! Sort of...

UK Lunar Penetrator Consortium?  Well that name's a...mouthful.

im a bit dissapointed that the UK is deciding to conduct its own lunar missions, i would rather see them join up with the ESA and go for the manned missions to the moon,
but the UK loves to do everything half-arsed and crappy lol
'send men to the moon, nah we will just send a tin can instead'
