Synthetic biology crucial to human missions to Mars
In the case of Mars, a major resource that can be processed by synthetic biology is the atmosphere.
Biotechnology, synthetic biology keys to humans colonizing other planets
Living anywhere in our Solar System beyond Earth will require the same level of protection that an astronaut needs while walking in space.
The Future of Human Evolution in Space
What will humans look like in the distant future? Space travel may may affect both biological and technological changes in our species.
How gene therapy could help astronauts survive deep space deadly radiation
NASA has turned to the fast-moving world of gene therapy to solve several potential medical issues facing astronauts on lengthy space missions.
How synthetic biology will improve Earth and space exploration
The same synthetic biology technologies that will help sustain us on Earth will also support our journey to inhabit the stars.
Quest to colonize space demands boost from biotechnology, synthetic biology
Synthetic biology will become indispensable to establish a long-term human presence off-Earth, namely colonization.
Evolutionary lessons for an interplanetary future
The motivation to settle space comes from the notion that our long-term survival may depend on being a multiplanetary species.
Genetically engineering humans to survive missions to Mars is coming
One of the biggest concerns that space agencies like NASA and SpaceX have when it comes to bringing humans to Planet Mars is survival.
Have humans reached the end of evolution? Not under these 4 scenarios
Is natural selection still a major force in human evolution? We’ve been taught to think the answer must be yes. But is it really true?
Deep-space travel, colonization may rely on genetically engineered life forms
As humanity looks outward, we ponder what kind of life we ought to take with us to support outposts and eventually colonies off the Earth.
