But there lot of things about Mars and complex life that an average person hardly knows. Now, lets dig deep in to this topic and discuss what would be the big problems in future when humans want to live on Mars permanently. 1. Low Gravity : The red planet has about 38% surface gravity compared to Earth's surface. What's a big deal in this?
