Gravity

Mars has a mass of 6,419 · 1023 kg. Compared with Earth this is only a little bit more than a tenth. This results in a lower Gravity.

The gravitational acceleration is only 3,71 m/s². The resulting weight of any body on the surface of Mars is only a bit more than a third, compared with the same body on Earth.

That takes us up to the next level. Great posintg.

Impact on humans

The development of human embryos might be different. Also, the long term consequences for the health of human beings is unclear. Some kind of physical exercise can be helpful.

I always had Docs to Go on my Palms devecis and occasionally edited docs, but in the main it was my way of carrying key documents with me at all times.I've bought DtG for the iPhone, and I suspect the same will apply.
