Summary/Abstract: The rapid commercialization of space exploration has transformedit into a trillion-dollar industry, driving scientific and technological innovation.Yet, space travel poses considerable physical and psychological challenges, suchas microgravity, radiation exposure, and isolation, which demand innovative,science-based solutions. Human genetics offers a powerful approach to tacklingthese challenges by enabling personalized interventions to protect astronauthealth. From mitigating muscle and bone loss to enhancing mental resilience,genetic insights are paving the way for tailored solutions that benefit not only spacemissions but also healthcare on Earth. This conceptual paper explores how geneticdata can inform products and services for space exploration, emphasizing theirpotential to advance both astronaut well-being and consumer-focused innovationat the forefront of the commercialization of space activities and space tourism.
