The problem with modifying humans for space travel and other planetary
environments is that they wouldn't be able to return to live on Earth.
It would be a one-way trip.  A new species.
The AGI that cures aging would also give us AI in robot humanoid
bodies that could do space exploration without the need for the
supplies that live humans require.
