Is Personalizing Space Medicine, Truly the Future of Space Medicine

Space is a mystery, anything can happen when you are up in space. Astronauts have to be prepared when they travel outside the earth's atmosphere. When going into space many things can go wrong. However, the biggest factor that can go wrong is the astronaut's health. Getting sick in space could be fatal as astronauts have very few options for medication and such. Remember that when going to space many factors make astronauts sick. Over the years space medicine has challenged the boundaries from when it first started. As we move forward, it will become a bigger challenge as we dream bigger to one day colonize Mars, hence we need to improve space medicine. In this essay I have prepared to explain what I believe could be the future, in a way that ensures the astronauts we send into space are safe, hence the idea of personalized space medicine.
