Wouldn't it be fun to hang glide off of some of those cliffs that probably dwarf anything on this planet?

Yeah, but due to the tenuous nature of the Martian atmosphere, that glider had better have BIG wings!

Agreed, but not as big as it might seem, since gravity is only 1/3 of the earth, so an average man would weigh 60 pounds.
