Your scenario above makes Mars into a gigantic US-style suburb

....in the 1960s.... lol !  Obviously everyone has to have two gasoline cars in the garage. But wait!! There is no country to invade in order to get oil from. And everyone got too expensive houses that they couldn't pay off... So they stuff themselves with food and becomes the fattest planet in the milky way...  The budding martian civilisation fails

I didn't think there was any info about gravity in that post, a bit disappointing.
I am curious about what it might be like to move around in Martian gravity.

I am wondering, how likely is it that some element is discovered on Mars, that would be valuable enough to ship to Earth in a situation where space travel i still complex and unusual.

I mean, could there be some new valuable mineral or similar, that could turn out to revolutionize science in some way....?
I mean solve critical issues in fields like energy, water, computing, transport, medicine...

What might that be, and how valuable would a product have to be to be worth shipping from Mars to Earth?
