Space travel is an important goal in our society, we are polluting the earth and some day we will need to find another planet to go populate. Scary as it sounds medical and biological fields have advanced very far in the past years. An important thing to realize is that we have the technology to print organisms such as bacteria. The printer will eventually be able to be shot onto another planet. The printer will then print offspring and bacteria to populate that planet. Although there needs to be further advances in Jet propulsion and Genetic Research. Coming back to our offspring, later in the future genetic splicing can make our bones more durable in space. Harvard Medical School has jumped into the idea of the Role of Genetics. The school discussed how genes and offspring will play an enormous part into the exploration and inhabitation of planets. One geneticist stepped up and discussed the problem with long distance travels. David Sinclair proposed the idea mutating offspring so it may age less to travel on long trips to planets. At the debate he stated “this intersection involves the potential advantages of extant human variation and rallying our genetics to counter aging during long-distance travel spanning hundreds of thousands of years.” This genetic alteration would help the offspring travel the distance. This is what our future holds in store for
