No - you wouldn't. This is what I was referring to.

Mars has ~0.38x Earth's gravity. Yes, you could sidehop a lot higher, and yes, you would come back down slower than on earth.

If you went to the Moon, this would be even more exaggerated due the the even lower gravitation force (~0.16x Earth's).

"Zero gravity" refers to exactly that. There is no force pulling you back toward whatever surface you jumped off, and you would just keep going forever. (Or until you hit something, anyway.)

You would sidehop very high and come back down very slowly in very low gravity, but in zero gravity you'd just keep moving until something stopped you, like an astronaut in the ISS.

(I'm not trying to be a dick - just wanted to point it out. Sorry if it came over a bit hostile.)

Edit: Just re-read and realized you might have been talking about sidehopping on Mars whilst he was talking about 0G. If that's the case then feel free to ignore this post :P
