One method is epigenome engineering and would target genes advantageous for space. Another method is to combine the DNA of other species (i.e. tardigrades) with human cells to make humans better fit for space.

    There’s a few problems:

    • radiation being higher than on Earth
    • 6 months travel to Mars needs many supplies
    • there’s no construction material in outer space. Therefore, no or few spare parts. Everything that’s lost (think leaks) can only be replenished after 6 months.
    • artificial gravity?
    • has to be self-sustaining and able to develop and grow.
