I said essentially what you just said, which is:
"gravity helps people work faster"
"Earth-gravity is good"
"Vertical cities are not impossible on Earth"
What I said was that we can do things in low-G that wouldn't be necessary on Earth.
Interesting discussion. Wonder how fast an earthling can run on the Moon,
assuming that he is running in a sealed environment without space suit.

Is THAT what youve been saying? Sounded more like you were trying to make a point for it being nearly impossible to accomplish anything in orbit, on the moon or Mars, let alone in freefall.

No. Quote me.

"gravity helps people work faster"

*"gravity helps people work faster"
That depends entirely on the specific type of work being done- IT, secretarial , data entry and waldo-work can all be done as easily or easier in freefall as under Earth G.
Again, this depends entirely upon whom you ask- personally, millions of us would strongly disagree with this statement. For those of us who are disabled with bad backs, severe arthritis, and other gravity exacerbating maladies Earth Gravity is a decidedly BAD thing.
*"Vertical cities are not impossible on Earth"
While this may be true in theory, in practice youll find far more vertically oriented cities in space than on Earth where gravity selects against extreme verticality.

oops, now IM mixing environs, Mars for Moon. Ouch, sorry, just disregard... it was a spoof anyway. LOL

And I think that his jumps were "slightly" exaggerated in the movie. :)
don't think that would be enough to fly over entire blocks of a city...
(But then, IIRC in the original book from Edgar Burroughs the jumps were
exaggerated too, and Disney decided to rather respect the book than respect
physics. ;)

JC's jumps in the book were consistent with Lunar gravity, not Martian. The movie decided that this wasn't enough. Then again, there's a lot from the books the movie decided wasn't enough.
