I wonder if there is anything that can be done to prevent this? Besides attaching weights to compensate for the lower gravity.

There are supplements that can be taken; usually they're only prescribed to post-menopausal women.

There are methods to compensate though... hmm that is an interesting problem, be interesting if the mars vessel contains a cyclic gravity set up to help with astronaut gravity issues in flight.

I think it would be silly not to include it.

And you could also have a similar facility at the base. Maybe require everyone to spend a couple hours in the cyclotron every day

Those with motion sickness need not apply

LoL! To wax more whimsical for a second- a new requirement for being one of the first 4 on Mars is extensive Graviton operation and service experience.

Now I'm definitely not applying, I can't stand Carnies.

I remember stepping off one of those, and lining up for the ride next to it. The very next cycle had two children vomit inside while it was going. I felt like I'd dodge'd a bullet.
