Significant amounts of water found on moon

I have a thought. Less gravity longer life? if we are working with the gravity of earth we would have lees stress on our body with less gravity. So that would mean that our bodies would not have to work as hard. But i would think you would have to be born into it for it to work.

Being born into such an environment would probably not make a difference. I can see it having a definite effect on growth since as a species, we evolved on earth so things like bone and muscle development would be affected, and not in a good way, in a lesser (or greater) gravitational field. Then there is the magnetic field that shields earth from particles borne on the solar wind which is lacking on both the moon and Mars so the cancer rate would be scary.

Being born as the first generation probably would not make much of a difference but live evolves, Mars being only like a 1/4 size of earth would be a huge difference in gravity. Since i am sure that gravity has a lot to do with the way we look, the way we are now, can you imagine what we would look like if we evolved on mars?

Me too read that article its been interesting.....i need more details about this..
