RE: Colonizing Venus: Only 90% as Crazy as it Sounds
The other relative issue is gravity. Only Earth, Mars and Venus (in our solar system) have the gravity needed for healthy foetal gestation. We could put bases on the Moon but not reproduce there.
Thank you for that information. I didn't realize that. Gravity is such an interesting thing. That fact that you could be on an airship in the atmosphere and pretty much have the same gravity as here on Earth, but then if you were in orbit around Venus you would have 0 gravity. It is trippy for me to think about.
I read somewhere someone making a compelling case that some parts of our primitive biology function better in zero-G.
Gravity is such an oft overlooked factor about living on Mars. Glad to hear you bring it up! The gravity didn't seem to different for Matt Damon...
