How high can we jump on other worlds?

[Admin]

How high you can jump on other worlds is affected by many factors, here we estimate jump heights based on each world's gravity.

As E. E. 'Doc' Smith once wrote in his novels, it would depend upon whether you were an immigrant to the planet or a second, third, or fourth generational citizen of the planet.

I have said that a human child born and raised in near zero-g gravity conditions in space will never travel space in 1-g or greater conditions because they would be a death warrant. A child born and raised on the moon could never take the accelerative six times g, times two or three or more, conditions a human born on the Earth could take. One born and raised on Mars would have grave difficulties with the higher g that would present the Earthling with only some problems.

All of this means that we must colonize the surface of space itself with colonies that will have artificial gravity conditions matching or bettering Earth 1-g conditions so that accelerations in travels can be greater.

Depends on which is cheaper. Making space colonies have 1 g, or genetically engineering humans to live in microgravity (to the point we might not even consider them "human" anymore).
