EMBRYO SPACE COLONIZATION "is a theoretical interstellar space colonization concept that involves sending a robotic mission to a habitable terrestrial planet transporting frozen early-stage human embryos or the technological or biological means to create human embryos." http://lnkd.in/dcQBJ3a View in LinkedIn

66 YEARS BETWEEN MAJOR EVENTS, 1903 AND 1969. "Just six and a half decades separated the first powered flight at Kitty Hawk in 1903 from the first moon landing in 1969. Could a similar stretch of time separate the first moon walk from the first permanent base on Mars?" http://lnkd.in/dcXXfQ9 View in LinkedIn

FROZEN EMBRO VIABILITY DATA so far is limited to about 18 years. It is pure speculation that they can survive longer. Between this, the artificial womb, and robotic parenting, there are just one or two loose ends to sort out before embryo space colonization can truly get off the ground. Oh, and ethical-legal issues. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/08/120813103302.htm View in LinkedIn

CRYOPRESERVATION OF HUMAN EMBRYOS is only 30 years old as a science. There is simply not enough data today to know the long-term viability of these tissues. "First successful embryo cryopreservation mammal was done in 1972, and the first baby conceived by embryo that was frozen was born in 1984." http://www.biotechnologyforums.com/thread-2100.html View in LinkedIn

VIABILITY LIMITS OF FROZEN EMBRYOS. "It is believed that frozen embryos may be viable for hundreds of years or more. Recent remarkable progress suggests that ectogenesis of humans may be possible within 20 or so years if properly funded. Progress with android robotics and non-AI dialogue expert systems makes fairly realistic parenting possible." Big statement. http://lnkd.in/dUfVRir View in LinkedIn

EMBRYONIC STEM CELL ASTRONAUTS. "The embryonic stem cells are frozen and will be launched into space. Hardware is Stem Cells Sample Case containing frozen ES Cells and Bio Dosimeter for radiation measurement. After the ES cells are returned to the ground, survival rate of ES cells to space radiation will be analyzed using colony formation." http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/research/experiments/895.html View in LinkedIn

SUSPENDED ANIMATION TRAVEL. "Because there is no technology available for achieving fast interstellar space travel, proponents of interstellar space colonization have proposed several alternatives. The three most important ones are: generation ships, sleeper ships and embryo space colonization." http://lnkd.in/dBaf3yz View in LinkedIn

SPACE EVOLUTION. "Humans are taking the reigns of their evolutionary path and embarking on this journey to their future. We are the first creatures on Earth to evolve the capability of forcing changes to our physiology to adapt to the environment, rather than the environment forcing change upon us.""

CARL SAGAN. "Since, in the long run, every planetary civilization will be endangered by impacts from space, every surviving civilization is obliged to become spacefaring ... for the most practical reason imaginable: staying alive... If our long-term survival is at stake, we have a basic responsibility to our species to venture to other worlds." http://www.spacequotes.com/ View in LinkedIn

STEPHEN HAWKING "predicted that the human race would become extinct within the next thousand years, unless colonies could be established in space ... mankind faces two options: Either we colonize space within the next two hundred years and build residential units on other planets or we will face the prospect of long-term extinction." http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_colonization View in LinkedIn
