Gene Therapy for Interstellar travel
The space is not an hospitable environment. Interstellar travel is a pipedream right now due to radiation, zero gravity and the vast distances that separate stops. However, gene therapy can make it more feasible. Anti-aging gene therapy for telomerase stimulation and Klotho can improve overall health. It is important to keep the crew healthy when the nearest hospital may be thousands of miles away.
The genes that keep humans healthy on Earth are the same genes that keep them safe in outer space.
A wide range of genes will be helpful in making long space journeys comfortable and safe. BioViva’s CMV will be required to transport the large genetic payloads that astronauts want to bring into space.
