The future of the Human Species - Part 4: Will we create our future?Written by K.A.Cassimally

It seems easy to do so too. Now that we are starting to unlock secrets of DNA and genes things, we are also starting to modify them. As you know DNA contains all information about a person and if it is modified, person too is modified. So, if my DNA is modified then, I too will be modified: physically, mentally or emotionally. DNA modification seems to be key for going elsewhere that is away from Earth. Anyway, if ever we go on another planet, colonize it and live on it then appearance of us, humans, will change. The physical appearance of a person depends on physical environment surrounding that person. So if ever we go on Mars, our eyebrows will become more important and they will therefore expand in size. Why our eyebrows will evolve is because Mars is dustier than Earth in terms of sand and other small particles. We know that Earth is not permanent and we know that we will have to go away one day if we want to live on. We also know that Mars, which till now has appeared to be ideal place is going to go in smoke like Earth too. We are not much prepared to teraform Mars though but this is only a matter of time. With new technologies, new ideas will burst out till best one is proposed. Then we can go to Mars. We may however have to transform ourselves to remain alive though. Will we be able to do all this? Well a real spider man would be a great thing to see. If ever we succeed in doing all these things though then we may say this clearly and loudly, “Humans are one step above everybody else neither in this solar system nor in this galaxy and not even in this universe but in this world.”

But in all cases, this is exactly what some astronomers have in mind: transplant human species to these planets before it is too late. Before colonising places outside our system though, it is logical to try and colonise our neighbour, Mars. To achieve this goal though, many other problems have to be taken into consideration. How do we transform a dusty planet like Mars into one more or less alike to our Earth? How should we proceed? Before we plan to perform any of these though, we should ask ourselves whether we are really prepared to go out there where nobody has ever gone.
