The opposite would probably happen. Maybe we should find some higher gravity place.

...
Marsis the third largest rock planet.
...
We're on Earth.
...
And we're not goin to venus.
...
Care to explain?

Aw I never thought of this. Its very complecated, but baisicaly it causes you to get...... fat, that's why astronauts work out so much. If you have ever seen the Disney "Wall-E", that's execaly what would happen

Not exactly. Pixar movies ain't exactly the best source for scientific information, you know. The buildup of fat is in fact caused by a lack of physical exercice(spaceships are tiny; and flying is easy), not by the low gravity.

What would happen:
-You grow longer
-Bone density weakens enormously, as do quite a few of you muscles
-Blood deplaces itselfs from the legs to your face; given you a puffed up look
-Some cardiovascular problems

It is untested whether or not mars has sufficient gravity. However, daily exercise can prolong or even prevent it. Besides, what alternatives do we have?

We know how much gravity Mars has, and there's an entire branch of science dedicated to this. I'm pretty sure that with some minor adjustements, humans can live indefinitely on Mars as far as gravity is concerned. Returning to Earth afterwards might be problematic.

Fun fact: Due to the gravity of mars, humans who stay on that planet have their bone density increase and they grow shorter.  (Look it up, I am pretty sure it is true)

looked up, we'd grow taller, our bones would get less dense. My own knowledge backs up this fact

you're thinking of higher gravity wells, and (I think) mars has about 1/5 the gravity of the earth, so we'd become too tall.

Being discussed, been dismissed.

It's true. That's why the N'avi's in the movie Avatar are so huge. Also, people would be able to jump wicked high. (Until we evolved and got big)

Evolution is very long term. We'll have revlaimed Terra by the time it becomes a problem.

Also: no one's posted in logistics or modding for a while...

We wouldn't need to worry about getting very tall for hundreds or thousands of generations at a minimum, but bone density will be a problem within years.

[Zanzetkuken The Great]

Anyway, let's return to more important topics, such as choosing a country.  I believe we left off with this:

Our current options are:
Angolia
Equatorial Guinea
Zimbabwe
Cameroon
Uganda
Burinka Faso
Sudan
Chad
Eritrea
The Gambia
Republic of the Congo
Djibouti
Rwanda
Central African Republic
Burundi
Mauritania
Cuba(?)
Iran
North Korea
Belarus

More peoples. more!

We could remove the Central African Republic, due to it being completely surrounded.  The nations around it would already be making for a land grab before we could create some form of a government.

Didn't Burundi have that genocide and famine problem? I could help find solutions, I'm an amateur armchair sociologist. Oh, and solving problems like that is awesome PR.

Then I can be a Benevolent dictater! Oh yeah. I was actually aiming for a career in politics anyway, and this would be a great jumping off point.

Well, there are worse...how many potential voters will be able to point to a location within 100 miles of Burundi?

Not me. And now I have to bring this up.

[Slayerhero90]

Level 6! Woo! Whenever it asked for Equador, it was easy. That country is so tiny, I am garuanteed to hit within cheering distance!

[misko27]

I love when they ask for the balkans, I always get'em right. I also have a unneededly extensive knoledge of the middle east.

When in doubt, Africa.

What has this got to do with the space program?
Sorry, I haven't followed the link.

I asked how many voters could point to a spot within 100 miles of Burundi.
