The First Martian baby, yes, not first lunar baby.

First of all, there is more gravity on Mars than the moon, so it should be easier to make do there.

I am sure there exists no equivalent gravity room or systems to make it seem as earth's condition.

This will all have to be worked out. What about the ISS mice?


I search for Martian and got:
The Like and Get Likes Thread.

And one more thread.

Either way, I found some info on Martian babies on the net, and the obvious problem to solve is gravity.

Increasing gravity is easy, you just put people in a centrifuge. They want more space to move around in? Make the centrifuge bigger. While not a completely trivial mechanical feat, it is a problem that can easily be solved simply by throwing resources at it.

Decreasing gravity is much harder.

To control gravity we would first need to know whats, yes we know it's caused by mass but why mass? what in a mass of particles makes a gravity ? and why does it degrade over distance ? what coveys a gravity ?

and so forth answer those and we have flying cars, artificial gravity and all that.

Going to be interesting. Lets just hope space radiation doesnt leave us all sterile. Otherwise everyone on Mars will be test tube babies. Or at least the first generation or two.

Just how much gravity you get by centrifuge?
Can you actually get more gravity than normal if you speed it up like the NASA spin accelerator test?

P.S.: I don't consider throwing 7 trillion to 15 trillion easy. It is indeed nice to have a positive return on investment...
In case of a throw, it would like a boomerang, instead of having to spend more energy to go and pick it up again.

Gravity has been studied for a long time, researched, analysed, and so on.
There are many designs on how, what, when, why, and so on, gravity works.
Gravity is also related to Energy. Mass is related to energy.
The gravity affecting our human body is related to the bone structure of an embryo during development.
Should that fail to function, it could cause miscarriage and other genetic defect.

An species that would function better like insects or other?
What about plants and the differences? What are the gravitational difference level wise?
There must be some more numbers than that related to biology.

I don't know what test tube babies would function on mars.
Not likely human ones without special conditions to counter the negative effects.
What happened to the ISS mice?
