The authors discuss pros and cons of mostly biological enhancement of human astronauts operating in hostile space environments, but also ethical and theological aspects are addressed. In contrast to the idea and program of human enhancement on Earth, human enhancement in space is considered a serious and necessary option. This book aims at scholars in the following fields: ethics and philosophy, space policy, public policy, as well as biologists and psychologists. 410 0$aSpace and society (Springer (Firm))$x2199-3882 606 $aGenetic engineering 606 $aGenetic engineering$xMoral and ethical aspects 606 $aSpace medicine 615 0$aGenetic engineering. 615 0$aGenetic engineering$xMoral and ethical aspects. 615 0$aSpace medicine. 676 $a660.65 702 $aSzocik$b Konrad$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996418172203316 996 $aHuman Enhancements for Space Missions$92238322 997 $aUNISA
