as for no vs. low gravity on mars, if there is enough gravity on mars to hold a human and the regular tools of life - from things as large as cars to things as small as toothpicks - down, i stand corrected. if there isnt, my point remains.... it wont be easy to go about our day to day tasks if we float.
You're obviously a tool and have no idea how gravity works. Put simply, if two objects have mass, their is an attraction between them, and the one with greater mass seems to pull the lesser towards it. The Moon, Mars, Mecury, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, Uranus, and all of said planets moons have gravity. It may be less than earth, but their is still gravity. I think mars has like 40% of the gravity we have on earth. So if you weight 200 lbs on earth, you'll only appear to weigh 80lbs on mars...
