They could eliminate this step simply by sending Juan McLame there instead.
[ One of the techniques currently under development that it is following is NMN, a compound expected to enter clinical trials after it was shown to rejuvenate elderly mice in laboratory tests. ]
OH SH~T keep this away from all the damned fossils in both parties, we don’t need 100 term senators like Pelousy and McLameBrain
You can buy this suff on AMAZOn ....
Just search “nmn nicotinamide mononucleotide”
Haven’t the trials already started ? What is the optimal dosage for supplements already on the market ?
IMO, it’s good that we apparently don’t have all kinds of advanced life living around us in outer space. Man doesn’t get along with man. We COULD NOT get along with intelligent reptiles, that’s for sure. But that’s what we’re proposing to do here: genetically modify people so that they become, in effect, reptiles or worse, then supposing that we could get along with them just fine thousands or hundreds of thousands of years in the future. Totally nuts! Don’t do it!
What could ever go wrong? Just ask the people of Georgia how wonderful Kudzu is.
They want to turn them into MICE?/s What could possibly go wrong?
If NASA can develop a legitimate safe and effective drug to reverse aging it is going to be unstoppable. The antibiotic of our time. :)
What could go wrong? /s
Ah, no.

Not going to touch godwin's law, but just saying...
Long distance space travel is full of problems.
The gravitational issues on bones and muscles could be mitigated somewhat by rotation of the shop. This “inhabitable ring” could be where the crew spend most of their time. A HUGE PROBLEM will be radiation from both the sun & cosmic rays, etc. but also by the fact that space is not truly empty. It has some particle density from an estimate 1 H atom per cubic centimeter to much more. As a spaceship travels faster say gets toward some fraction of light speed. Those space particles will be hitting the ship at that speed plus whatever velocity they might have. The ship will effectively be like an “experimental target” in a particle accelerator. You can mitigate it to some extent with thicker hulls but then the hulls will become irradiated and be a problem. You can move the charged particles out of the way with electric fields but uncharged particles would still be a problem.
A big engineering challenge!
I hear it turns your skin gray
