Glimpse: On the Promise of a Future with Artificial Wombs, and Why It’s Being Stopped by the Present
Posted by Klaus Baldauf in categories: biotech/medical, genetics, transhumanism
Given the speed at which reproductive technology has advanced over the past few decades, it doesn’t feel all that far-fetched: A future in which anyone can have a baby, regardless of creed or need, whenever they feel like it. Already, in our present moment, one can buy or sell eggs and sperm; we can give embryos genetic tests to ensure the children they produce don’t have any life-threatening hereditary conditions; and babies can even be born, now, with the genetic information from three parents.
So it follows that we should soon be able to to have pregnancy outside the body — artificial wombs. R ight?

SpaceX gives us a glimpse of its Mars base vision
Posted by Genevieve Klien in categories: Elon Musk, space travel
SpaceX chief Elon Musk has tweeted two photos that give us a peek into the company’s Martian dreams. One of the images shows the BFR, the massive rocket SpaceX is developing for deep space missions, while the other shows the BFR and what he called “Mars Base Alpha.” It’s no secret that the private space corporation wants to build a human settlement on the red planet. Back in 2017, it announced its plans to launch two BFR cargo missions to Mars by 2022 to prepare for the arrival of the first Martian settlers by 2024. Before any of that can happen, though, SpaceX has to be able to start testing its BFR system in the first half of 2019.
