Space travel does not necessarily mean weightlessness. There is a simple way to create artificial gravity: spin the ship. If the ship is too small, connect two halves of it to a tether and spin that. Mars itself has about a third the gravity of Earth. The primary danger of living there is radiation.

That's probably true, but what about its non-breathable atmosphere? I guess that's why sci-fi writers usually put its earthling inhabitants under domed cities.
