Is there Gravity on Mars?

It looks like in the trailer there's gravity on Mars. I mean I could accept it in the base, but walking/running on the surface?

Am I missing something or will all be explained in the movie?

We're all in strung out shape, but stay frosty, and alert.

No. There is no gravity on Mars. However Mars is made of metal and they all had magnets in their boots.

Mars is made of metal! What a dope! Everybody knows that Mars is made of chocolate with a nougat center.

There is no gravity on mars at all, thats because its made from cheddar cheese and in space cheese has no gravity, also its atmosphere is the same density as earths but it contains high levels of cheese vapour so it stinks, thats why they need helmets or otherwise they would choke on cheese fumes.
Thats not sand thats cheese crumbs.
Like all old cheese it goes orange crusty and hard.

I was also educated by the school of murica.

No, you are stupid. His question makes complete sense, it was stupid to film the movie pretending the gravity on Mars was the same as the gravity on Earth and showing Mars exactly like a beach on Earth. Only a moron and dumba$$ such as yourself would ignore this and all the other facts that make this movie so bad.

Will you just give yourself a rest and let others discuss things. Just because you didn't like the trailer and thought it was a rip off of "Alien" doesn't give you the right to go around jumping on everyone who has different views. GO *beep* YOURSELF. You moron.

Everything with mass has gravity, even you. The strength of the gravity is proportional to the mass. Mars mass is 38% of earths mass therefor the gravity is 38% of earths gravity.

What a stupid question.

The increase in human knowledge is the cause of the decline of religions.

Not true since the world now consists of an increasingly ignorant population interested in living for self interests. The real reason is the sixty year effort to proliferate the liberal notion of moral relativism which simply states that each person should be allowed to do what they believe is correct and that there are no moral absolutes. Morality is based on the idea of truth and moral relativism is based on the idea of relative truth which is the same as saying that truth does not exist. This relegates moral relativism to a dangerous worldview since human nature dictates that some people will make the least moral (and thus least beneficial) choices and justify them as relatively correct and proper. We have seen these people before in Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, etc. Religion (especially Christianity) teaches a global worldview where the individual is secondary and that the primary directive of life is to make this world 'Heaven' on Earth for the masses which requires self sacrifice and not base self indulgence.
Science cannot undo religion since God and His domain are supernatural and science deals only with the natural world. Indeed science only exposes the 'methodology' a creator would have used to create a natural universe.

You're beyond any help, science would need another 100 years to cure your illness. Majority of religious people are ignorant, the other ones are in it just for the kicks or some kind of gain that has nothing to do with faith.

my question would be about the pressure on mars. when the tunnel is left open in the film, all the oxygen rushes out. i don't know if this would be the case in reality, depending on the pressure on the surface vs in the air lock.

[–] mantric-1 11 years ago

Mars' atmosphere is about 0.6% of earth's and only has trace amounts of oxygen. So both through diffusion and pressure difference, you'd lose oxygen faster than you'd feel comfortable with.
