QUESTION: What would a human miss the most living on Mars? ANSWER from Mark Adler on January 29, 1997: Tough question--you can probably guess as well as I. There would be many aspects of life on Earth missing on Mars (at least early in a colonization). My guess is that number one on the list would be the ability to run around outside without a bulky pressure suit and life support system. In other words, open space.
