Exploring space will also push genetic research. Better Humans author Simon Smith claims environments such as Mars extreme cold temperatures and toxic atmosphere will require biological changes. Sending humans into space without genetic modification would be impractical. However, we need breakthroughs to achieve this glowing future. Gene therapies to protect space travelers in hostile environments are at least, 15-to-20 years away; and faster propulsion, maybe even wormhole development, are needed to travel huge space distances in a timelier manner. Will this future happen? Experts believe technologies will develop at lightning speeds during this century. Between now and 2035, we could see more breakthroughs than in the last 200 years. From 2035-to-2050, advances might outpace all of human history; and from 2050-to-2100, massive discoveries beyond the wildest imaginings of science fiction could appear.
