RE: Breathing In Someone Else's Farts And Other Downsides Of Deep Space Travel
It’s fun to think that maybe these are the next probable steps in the evolutionary process. Space travel is the next step in human evolution. We have already mastered our domain here on earth, what follows may be the necessary genetic modifications required to endure venturing forth. Lack of gravity makes our bones weak so maybe we will grow taller to offset the effects. It’s hard to tell what biological processes are necessary to prepare the next generation for the future. Great post, thanks for sharing!
My area is physics and engineering and the hard sciences in general. When it comes to biology things are far more complicated. I wonder if we could ever tweak the human genome successfully without screwing up.
