Re: Reality TV - A Step Too Far?

Stark staring bonkers the lot of 'em. Who would want to go to a planet with 0.6 atmospheric pressure whereby if you step out of your "safe place" you'd be crushed like a grape between two fingers.

If ever there was "human" type life on there, they would have to have been about 50ft tall and weighed in at an incredible poundage to keep them planted on the ground because of the pressure.

If I went to another planet I'd want to have a good toot round.

Re: Reality TV - A Step Too Far?

Mollie, what planet are you talking about?

Mars is somewhat smaller than the Earth, so its gravity will be rather less, but not drastically so. It would be no problem to humans.

The problems are to do with a lack of atmosphere and a wide temperature range. Hopefully water in the form of ice would be found which could be electrolised to produce oxygen.

But let's be realistic - it's all still science fiction at present.
