"Please note......reasonable means not inserting a human brain into a rocket" Ted, you better get ready for all sorts of humans. I'm sure it won't be too long before we can give the gift of gills to our offspring, along with eye membranes and webbed hands and feet. Which would you rather have, just another land child or an amphibian? As for space - it's a tough nut making a reasonable long-term habitat in space for long term human habitation and especially travel. It'll be much easier to bio-engineer humans for space. In space, the need for bones goes away. A octopus or squid form human that needed very little food and oxygen would be much more sensible. In the far future, we may be custom bioengineering humans to live on the planets we find, rather than changing the planets for Earth evolved humans.
