4:57Now PlayingA fan wants to know if Mars is the kind of place to raise our kids, given that Martian gravity is only 40% of Earth’s gravity. According to Neil, it might not be as bad as you think, and that we might be able to draw some clues from astronauts who have spent a long time weightless in Low Earth Orbit. But when Chuck Nice talks about individuals adapting to lower gravity, Neil clarifies why a species might become more biologically suited to life on Mars over time, through genetic mutation, natural selection and speciation, but individuals can’t “adapt physiologically” to the Martian environment.
