(This question assumes that terraforming or domed colonies could allow for
permanent human settlement on Mars.) I'm especially interested in the effect of
Martian gravity on humans who are gestated and raised on Mars. Would they be
taller and more gracile than earthlings? Would they be unable to walk on Earth?
