This biotechnology company with Dutch roots wants your children to be born in space

This article will take you 7 minute (s) to read

The founder of Space X and the founder of Tesla, Elon Musk, want to colonize Mars! Billionaire entrepreneurs such as Richard Branson of Virgin and Jeff Bezos of Amazon are working hard to set up an affordable space tourism industry. It seems that, in a few years, people will visit cities of the Earth as quickly as they will between Los Angeles and Amsterdam. Imagine! This is the speed at which technological advances are happening now!

Speaking of life in space, a lot of things happen to make it work. That said, how about a child's space? Although no human was conceived in the space, it still remains that it could happen very soon and the company that will probably succeed this feat is SpaceLife Origin.

Human reproduction in space!

SpaceLife Origin, headquartered in North Brabant, is the first company to develop a plan to make human reproduction safer in space. In this perspective, the company announced its 2020-2024 mission program to secure future generations of people beyond the Earth.

Based in the Netherlands, with representation in the United States, SpaceLife Origin is the first biotech company to deliver a sustainable human life beyond the Earth. The company is expected to open a satellite site around the world in 2019 and beyond.

Multi-planetary species sought

In order to implement the mission program, SpaceLife Origin has collaborated with leading universities and suppliers in the space technology and medicine sectors. To make the program safer, the program of missions is developed in a sequential order, each previous mission reinforcing the results of the following missions.

According to Kees Mulder, CEO of SpaceLife Origins, the very first baby born in space will be achievable by 2024, thus ensuring the safety of future generations. He also added, "If humanity wants to become a multi-planetary species, we must also learn to reproduce in space," Mulder said.

The state of the Earth could be extremely difficult over the next century

The main reason behind this initiative is to formulate a relief plan, because life on Earth could become extremely difficult over the next century. That said, society does not rush into the process, but perpetuates colonization efforts by progressively searching for and executing the conditions of human reproduction in outer space.

Mulder adds: "Any space company, agency or nation with the ambition to colonize other planets will benefit from its partnership with us to carry out its projects."

Raise funds

When we contacted Mulder about funding, he said that SpaceLife Origin was collecting a few hundred thousand dollars for a feasibility study as part of a selection campaign. In addition, discussions are underway with US investors for a new round of $ 12 to $ 15 million.

He added: "For the Dutch standards, this is a significant sum, but as we intervene at the crossroads of space and biotechnology, it is manageable. We also keep in mind our leading position in this segment and our attractive business model. The business model will quickly provide us with a net cash flow and therefore a net profit, mainly from Mission Ark and Lotus.

Missions!

The company is currently working on three missions: Ark Missions, Lotus Missions and Cradle Missions.

Ark Missions – Save the Human "Seeds of Life" in the Space by 2020

Patent-pending technology is at the heart of SpaceLife Origin Ark, which contains 1,000 protected tubes containing human reproductive cells. Cells (male, female, and 2-PN) are harvested at approved and supervised IVF clinics around the world.

In addition, the cells are vitrified and stored safely in secure locations on Earth and satellite in space. Real-time tracking and video footage from embedded cameras allow customers to view and display their "vital" cells in orbit.

It is expected to be operational by the fourth quarter of 2020 and the registration process begins in the first quarter of 2019. The price ranges from $ 30,000 to $ 125,000 per series of Seeds of Life tubes. There will be 750 commercial tubes (for-profit) per ark (+ 250 nonprofit tubes to increase the balance of ethnic diversity).

Lotus Missions – The human design in the space of 2021 here

The company is developing a patented technology creating a new "Space Embryo Incubator". This embryo incubator containing male and female reproductive cells is sent into space, on which the embryos are designed and begin to grow.

After 4 days the incubator returns to Earth where the embryos are controlled. In particular, pregnancies and births will take place on Earth. With our team of experts, we will strive to put in place a faultless and safe methodology and technology to make this next step in human evolution achievable.

This mission is expected to be operational by the fourth quarter of 2021 and the registration process begins between the first quarter and 2019. The price ranges from $ 250,000 to $ 5 million, depending on the priority of the project. sequence (50-seat authorization).

Missions Cradle – the human birth in the space of 2024 here

A bold and realistic goal from SpaceLife Origin is the birth of the first human baby in space. During a mission of 24 to 36 hours, a woman will give birth to 250 km above the Earth, accompanied by a qualified medical team and international level. A carefully prepared and monitored process will reduce all possible risks, similar to Western standards as they exist on Earth for the mother and child.

This should be feasible by 2024, when registration and selection of candidates will begin in 2022. That being said, pricing, as well as all other conditions, will be disclosed at a later stage.

Who are the clients?

The first customers of SpaceLife Origin Mission Ark's services are located around the world. They are:

High Net Worth Individuals – at least 10 million people worldwide are seen as capable and willing to support innovative measures that help preserve the future legacy of their families and future generations of humankind

Prepper Communities Worldwide – 10 to 15 million people seriously worried about the future of their own families, society and the Earth. This group is willing and able to invest in protective measures.

IVF clients – More than 6 million couples in the United States alone, already involved in the process of harvesting and storing their "seeds of life". A market with a keen interest in securing, storing and (re) using their lives. & # 39;

IVF Centers – more than 1,500 worldwide, including more than 1,000 in the United States alone, who could also act as strategic medical partners to offer the various SpaceLife Origin services to their customers.

We human beings have the habit of destroying and exploiting property, be it any resource, wildlife, marine life or anything else. The current situation of the Earth is only the result of human hardness. Do you think that we human beings will not inflict damage on other planets if, in case, we start to colonize?
