On the note of Musk's multiplanet obsession. I was talking to a friend recently about how low and zero gravity fucks up the human body. People can go blind after two years in zero gravity and, based on experiments with mammals, women probably can't bring a pregnancy to term. Whether Mars having less gravity than earth causes similar issues isn't a well studied field apparently.

No one knows. Mars has about 33% of Earth gravity. Maybe that's enough to prevent the worst effects, maybe not. We can't know until we spend decades in those conditions.

A good example is the ISS. It's gravity is roughly 10% less than Earths. 6 months up there and you are going into rehab because you muscles are hosed. Mars is 30% of Earths. No one even knows if you can live with that. Also, how will you deal with zero gravity on route to Mars for 8 months?

I would imagine the muscle atrophy on the ISS would be due to the "zero-g" of constant freefall and not having to support body weight though

Yeah I assumed the ISS was effectively zero gravity. That being said the mammal pregnancy study was done on the ISS so I'm not sure if that is zero gravity or 90% gravity

There's effectively zero gravity on the ISS because it's in orbit, and "free falling".

The ISS is still affected by gravity. It's why it's in orbit. The Earth is pulling it still.

The "weightlessness" is due to the constant freefall

Yeah I know that, but earlier someone said that it's at 90% gravity so I'm trying to figure out what they mean. I was under the impression that ISS experienced an identical frame as one with 0 gravity.

Well it's quite close to Earth, and if not actively moving, it would sink right back to the surface very quickly. Earth's gravity extends well beyond the surface.

The weightless effect is just in terms of being inside the ISS which is in freefall at the same speed they are. Same as when you're on the vomit comit. You seem to be weightless in the plane but you're both just heading towards the ground at the same speed and earths gravity is still acting the same on you both.

Again I know that.

What I'm asking is for the guy who said its demonstrative of how 90% gravity impacts biological processes to explain what he means, especially when someone else said that muscle atrophy was specifically due to not using muscles to move body weight due to freefall rather than a lower persistent gravitational force.

It's been 20 years since I studied physics but what they're saying doesn't jive with what I was thought getting that degree. What I was thought is that from the frame of an object travelling on the ISS it's identical to if the object was experiencing zero gravity, but that object was a uniform perfect sphere and not a womb so I'm open to the idea that they have more knowledge than me.

Free fall doesn't mean gravity is zero. It is till loving around and ''pulling'' on your organs, fluids etc. Kazil is right about the weightless/muscle stuff for being on ISS. I just ignored that to poo poo on musk.

So not sure about how it would affect liquids in a body but for muscle atrophy it's not gravity directly that causes us to use our muscles, it's gravity pushing us against objects in different ways, and us pushing off against objects against gravity. For saggy bits, they sag because say your standing up your skeleton is pressing against the object but saggy extremities are not directly pressing against the object so will sag down until stopped by however much the skin will let them.

You feel gravities pressure when you lie down as you're getting pulled by gravity aginst what ever your laying. When your falling you're not getting pushed aginst something so shouldn't feel gravity. Sorta like how you don't feel the speed you're going you feel acceleration and deceleration, or air resitance if there's air.

Yeah that all jives with what I was thought.

The specific idea I'm referring to is that if I'm floating on the ISS in orbit and I bonk a sphere on the left side it'll move to the right in a straight line from my point of view. If the ISS is in the middle of space rather than in orbit and I do the same thing it moves the same way. In the first case it's moving in an arc from the frame of reference of the earth, but since my frame is also moving in an arc it looks like a straight line. The downward acceleration causing the arc in the Earth's frame is not observed in my frame. Similarly, if I wanna move my body to another module I expend the same, lower force with my muscles in both frames.

What Tai is explaining sounds like the 90% gravity is noticeable between the various fluids and materials that make up the human body, causing them to move differently in both frames.

The main takeaway is what this says about how biological phenomenon on the ISS relates to Mars' 33% gravity. The question is will the effects on Mars be exaggerated compared to the ISS because the abstraction of relative frames doesn't fully reflect the impact of gravity on biological processes during freefall?

Edit: I actually found my notes and checked, turns out I was right the first time. Matter on the ISS behaves just like matter that isn't experiencing any gravitational field. If the ISS was not in orbit everything would behave as though it is 10% lighter, but the orbit means mathematically things behave as though there is no earth gravity component at all. So the ISS experiments show what happens at zero gravity and not partial gravity.

This is my main gripe with musk when he starts talking about Mars. There is a lot of untested stuff or flat out unknowns at this point in terms of getting to and living on Mars. Propulsion to Mars is the easy part. NASA did 90% of the work for him.

Yeah all those details he knows nothing about his idoit workers will figure out. He's a genius man big idea thinker, so he just has to have the idea that going to mars sounds really cool and his genius jobs done and go back to his K.

Fortunatly he's really good a loving up any company he runs, so the details won't actually matter as he's not going to be involved in any mars colony thing.

Yeah, like one thing he's genuinely obsessed with is breeding and fertility, so if based on ISS experiments and how freefall impacts it, we can conclude that humans probably need more than 90% gravity to breed it's one of thing that potentially puts a stop on his obsession with Mars colonisation. Assuming he's isn't so far gone to exclaim it woke science and ignore it of course. (he probably will do this if it's ever brought up to him)

poo poo like O'Neil cylinders or whatever creating centrifugal forces to mimic gravity means that problem can be solved this for space based habitats though.

China is "planning" one for 2033. Pretty sceptical of plans ten years out, but China and India do seem to be in a bit of a space race going on, so I can actually see them putting in resouces for it. Maybe not by 2033 but possibly within 20 years.

A lot that can happen in the next while in that area of the world.. If they do send a mission it actually would probably mean the bad poo poo didn’t happen (invasion of Taiwan, China economic collapse) so I will hope they actually get a good shot at that. Skeptical though.
