 Species hybrides. 

The Chinese researchers transplanted human neurons to mice. 

This kind of research is possible in countries like China. If those experiments are accepted. Or seen as useful by governments, that means that those tests are well-authorized. The human neurons in the mouse's brain make it possible to research those neuron reactions in certain situations. That gives researchers more information on how things happen between neurons. But that also makes it possible to make things like intelligent puppies. Those genetically engineered pets can make people's lives easier. They can offer help to people. Who have certain limitations. 

Staling and his idea of humanzees, the monkey soldiers, still live in memories. The humanzee-soldiers were suitable for Stalin’s ideology. He wanted soldiers who don’t think. Their purpose was only to serve his personal ideas. And that means they should not think of anything else than how to serve the “Father sunshine”. Stalin wanted robots, not humans. The only accepted morality and ethics in Stalin’s Soviet Union were what Stalin wanted. The only accepted ethics was to follow the rules of the secret police and Joseph Stalin. And the only purpose of research and life was to serve the nation and Stalin himself. 

But the intelligent pets are not the only thing that makes this kind of research very interesting. Intelligent animals can perform many jobs for the military and law enforcement. But those intelligent pets are also key to Stalin’s mad dream about monkey soldiers. Those monkey soldiers were soldiers who had monkey brains. And Stalin’s notorious operator in that idea was Ilya Ivanov (1870-1932). That person transplanted a dog's head between two individuals. Ivanov had no knowledge of the immune system.  

That made those visions of the humanzee useless. But today, technology allows researchers to create hybrid species. And maybe the horrifying visions of the humanzees live in some dictator's head. Today, there is a possibility. To connect DNA bites from different species. And that makes those things that Ivanov tested possible.

And those experiments included the cases where an animal’s head was cut off and a life support system kept that head alive. During 20s technology was very primitive. But when we think about today’s bionic systems. It's possible to connect a human or monkey head to a robot body. The robot will be connected to the robot by using the spinal cord. The computer in the robot's body transforms neural signals into the computer-controlled servo systems that move the robot's body. These kinds of things can be fascinating and notorious things. The ability to transplant human neurons to mice or dogs is the thing. That can transform. Our way to see things. 

"Chrysalis could house several generations until it enters Alpha Centauri, where it could shuttle people to the surface of the planet Proxima Centuri b.

Chrysalis, a theoretical generation ship to Alpha Centauri. 

The interstellar flight requires advanced biotechnology. If there is a disease. That requires immediate and effective reactions. Those people who will go on that journey must not have any social relationships with people on  Earth. They must not have any genetic weakness that can cause mental illnesses. And they must have a strong immune system that can clean their body in the case of infections. When those people go, they go forever. 

Another interesting thing is that researchers are starting to create space mouse babies. Those rodents will be born and grow in a microgravity environment. These kinds of experiments can give a boost to our way across the solar system or even to stars. There are models that some researchers call “Solar Warden”. In that model, in the future, there will be space humans who live their entire life in a microgravity environment. They will be born in spacecraft or space stations that travel around the solar system. 

Those people will ever visit to Earth and they spend their entire life in zero gravity. That kind of thing will happen. If we someday send humans to other solar systems. If we send a generation ship to Alpha Centauri, that journey takes 400 years. So, if we send that craft on that trip, we will never see those people again. There are generations between us and those colonists. But before we send that craft called “Chrysalis” on that one-way trip, we must change our culture. “Chrysalis” is a theoretical plan to create an interstellar spacecraft. But maybe someday. We will handle that technology. 

But the biggest problem is that those people who travel in that craft will also lose contact with Earth. Those people will spend their entire life in that craft. So the Earth will become very distant to those colonists who travel between Earth and Alpha Centauri. The Chrysalis takes 400 years for that trip. That means if the Alpha Centauri civilization sends this kind of generation ship to Earth. And that craft arrives tomorrow, they should send that thing in the 17th century. If that trip takes exactly 400 years, that hypothetical craft will be sent in the year when Cassini was born and King Charles 1 ruled England. The 30-year war began a couple of years earlier.
