    1. The article says that the ISS crew needs to workout 2 hours a day to stave off muscle deterioration.

      The gravity of Mars should just mean that humans will have to work out a mandatory hour a day or something. Doesn’t really seem like a big deal to be honest.

      The real issue would be if the weaker gravity causes other health problems

      Finally some experimental data on this. 

      The Mars figure if it applies to human seems like something that could be exercised out of in the short term. That wouldn’t work for any theoretical colony with children.

      Is musk still going, can we send him a couple of elastic band to take with him

    4. Can’t they just wear weighted lead vests? It would prevent muscle atrophy and shield them from radiation.

      Not to worry, since this isn’t going to happen anytime in the foreseeable future.

      It should be noted that despite exercising for two hours a day, people on ISS are still basket cases when they return to Earth, unable to walk on their own and transported in wheelchairs or gurneys from their space capsules, and having to undergo extensive physical rehab to recover function.

      The Mars Colony fantasy has been kicking around since the 1950s and remains sci-fi fantasy.

      “In April 2023, 23 of the mice returned to Earth alive, and the researchers dissected them to look for changes to their grip strength and signs of atrophy.”

      Someone skip a step?
