What's the gravity like on Mars? It's less than on Earth, but more than on Luna (the Moon). Mars gravity is estimated at 0.376 that of Earth, so, plenty of opportunity to do some leaping-about! Also see gravity on different planets
Landing on Mars has problems with the Velocity-Altitude gap below mach5, as per www.universetoday.com/2007/07/17/the-mars-landing-approach-getting-large-payloads-to-the-surface-of-the-red-planet/ but this may be solvable some time.
Add more stuff to this! Please e-mail me with constructive suggestions, links to interesting sites, and contributions.
Clearly
we're a bit short of stuff here, but it is expanding. A visit
