Mouse Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 If say we can survive on Mars and there's oxygen and food and water, I wonder what kind of effects will there be on the human body. Since Mar's gravity is weaker than Earth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ouroboros Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 At a guess, I can imagine future generations might be taller (subject to natural selection). Digestive and circulatory systems wouldn't work as well since they partly rely on gravity at 1g. Coordination might become tricky since your sense of balance would be altered.

Horza2002 Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 One major change would be a reduced muscle mass....same as astronauts experience. A smaller and weaker heart aswell probably Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouse Posted March 24, 2010 Author Share Posted March 24, 2010 IS there a way to reverse the symptoms? Rehabilitation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Skeptic Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Taller, lower muscle mass, lower bone density. Probably larger lung capacity if you want to breathe at anywhere near current atmospheric pressure on Mars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
