Abstract:
The rapid commercialization of space exploration has transformed it into a trillion-dollar industry, driving scientific and technological innovation. Yet, space travel poses considerable physical and psychological challenges, such as microgravity, radiation exposure, and isolation, which demand innovative, science-based solutions. Human genetics offers a powerful approach to tackling these challenges by enabling personalized interventions to protect astronaut health. From mitigating muscle and bone loss to enhancing mental resilience, genetic insights are paving the way for tailored solutions that benefit not only space missions but also healthcare on Earth. This conceptual paper explores how genetic data can inform products and services for space exploration, emphasizing their potential to advance both astronaut well-being and consumer-focused innovation at the forefront of the commercialization of space activities and space tourism.
