re: Gravity: Terrans v Martians

Medical science may allow them to return to Earth if they want to, but even if they canâ€™t ever set foot on the Earth, that is not a problem. I am mainly of European decent, but I doubt Iâ€™ll ever set foot in Europe. I would enjoy visiting Europe, but I donâ€™t have to.

If this ever happens, there's sure going to be a conflict between those from Earth and those from Mars.
Just because Terrans will be by definition used to more gravity.
Meaning, Terrans will be able to visit more worlds than Martians and do it faster (both meaning more freedom to the Terrans than to the Martians) as Terrans could withstand more G's during acceleration, to go anywhere.

That Martians won't be able to set foot on Earth while Terrans can set foot on Mars , will also be seen as a humiliation.

We have to always think in advance about the consequences of such "hope" for our future or why it won't work.

        Take an African man from the ice age era and drop them in Northern Europe. See how long they last in that environment. Compare that with a European that has adapted to that environment. - REB - 9/28/2006 5:04:13 PM
