Elon Musk proposes to send to Mars X-men : In the World : Vladim

Mars can send genetically modified people. This idea was made by the head of SpaceX Elon Musk.

Musk isn’t the first one in this experiment. American experts had studied the possibility of genetic modification of the space operations. Research staff at Columbia University believe that you can perform the methods of increasing the body’s melanin, which protects people from the effects of ultraviolet radiation. Another option is to try to improve the genetic protection of the eyes. It is of great importance, as the lens of the eye is most sensitive to radiation to the human body.

Scientists believe changes in the DNA will give the opportunity to create a new innate biological protection for astronauts during extended missions. Experts suggest, the longer will be the Mars astronauts new genes, the greater the resistance to radiation.
