There are only 2 data points regarding long term human experience to gravity, 1g and 0g, what the effects on the human body would be at 1/6g, 1/3 g or 1/2 g is unknown. @HolyEyeWasHere

@SergePavlovsky while delta V to Mars orbit is similar to lunar orbit, then you have to get to and from the surface, and you have to deal with transit times of several months vs 3 days. The 3 days to the moon means that there're minimal issues with radiation, going to Mars requires radiation protection against unpredictable solar flares and long term cosmic radiation. Going to the moon can be done with aircraft ratios of mass/passenger, going to Mars requires ocean liner mass per passenger mass ratios.

@Lordabsurd-117 no it isn't.

@Lordabsurd-117 you probably should look up information on radiation levels on the Martian surface.

@Lordabsurd-117 what reasons?
1
@Lordabsurd-117 the moon would be easier and less expensive to colonise than Mars.
1
@Lordabsurd-117 the martian atmosphere is too thin and composed of CO2 and N2, so of little use to life. Mars also requires a far higher mass ratio for rockets to leave it compared to the moon.

@angeliiique-p7s why would anyone want to live in New York?? It's about economics, the moon is close to what will be, for at least a century, the most populated and wealthiest planet in the solar system. It's far easier to get raw materials from the moon into space throughout the Earth-moon system, it's a hundred times as easy to get to the moon than Mars, and despite "common sense", the martian atmosphere is more problem than asset.
1
@angeliiique-p7s that would depend on the facilities available. Perhaps you know what form a lunar colony and a Martian colony would take. If so, you should share your superior knowledge with the rest of humanity. Either the moon or Mars, you're not going outside without a spacesuit.

@SergePavlovsky "rocket fuel" We know the polar lunar craters have hydrogen containing volatiles. That will almost certainly include NH3 and CH4. It's just a question of how much.

@SergePavlovsky "lost key . . under the light. ." A bizarre analogy that makes no sense. When we start building ships for Mars, much of the material will be produced from the Moon. In industry, the 24/7 Sun at the lunar poles, combined with a hard vacuum and very low temperatures in the shade and low gravity, will make many industrial processes easier than on Earth.

@SergePavlovsky there is no reality of colonizing other planets yet. It hasn't happened, so what Elon envisions isn't the predetermined future. I find it difficult to close the case for Mars colonization, I can see a viable route for lunar colonization. It will initially be financed by the wealthy looking for experiences out of this world, experiences that only take a few days and don't put them so far from their business interests that they have no control. Who're going to be able to afford a multi-million dollar ticket to Mars and be willing to live a life that will be both hard and dangerous?

@SergePavlovsky at least a couple of comments haven't appeared. There is no "reality" to the colonization of either the Moon or Mars. At this point in time, all possible extraterrestrial colonization efforts are alternative realities.

@SergePavlovsky all colonization efforts are alternate realities.

@SergePavlovsky Starship is closer to landing on the Moon than on Mars. A couple of my comments, and at least one of yours hasn't appeared.

@SergePavlovsky a ticket to Mars is going to cost tens of millions and promise much danger and hardship. A ticket to the Moon will cost far less and be a vacation. Who's going to be buying the tickets to Mars? Many thousands will be able to buy a ticket to the moon for a fortnights vacation.

@SergePavlovsky a ticket to Mars will cost millions. Musk and others imagine that space colonization will follow the pattern of colonization of North America. It won't. The vast majority of those that settled North America were fleeing real hardship in Europe (for example, a famine in Ireland, political persecution), often refugees with sponsored tickets. In today's liberal societies, that level of hardship doesn't exist.
1
@SergePavlovsky Musk can fantasize about millions of people going to Mars, that doesn't make it a reality. Those who settled North America were going to a world full of food with resources very similar to the world they left. All that was required were basic tools to start growing food. Mars will require far more money to be spent than even the top 1% of Americans have today.
