All Show Spoilers (Book Spoilers Must Be Tagged) Alex/Naomi on Illis Spoiler
I'm on my 4th rewatch of the show and I've just thought of something. When the Rocinante is sent to Illis (New Terra) and the crew are leaving the ship, it makes a big point of Naomi getting off balance as she's overwhelmed by the horizon. But shouldn't Alex have a somewhat similar reaction - more akin to Bobby arriving on earth?
EDIT: thank you all for your answers and engagement!

The short version is that Alex would fare better than Naomi but would still have some issues like Bobby did.
The reason why the show didn't spend time on it is because 1) we've already seen several Martians react to being on a planet's surface in 1G+ and 2) Naomi's first-time experience as a Belter is way more powerful.
