I can see teams of humans hardwiring to virtual simulations, using special VR helmets or immersive technologies including cryo-stasis chambers on Earth; this method would allow humanity to conquer the galaxy with humanoid androids - these could provide abundant scientific, sensor and sample feedback, while creating trillions of jobs back on Earth in off-world mining, exploration, maintenance, logistics and recycling. The materials to build these androids and helmets are everywhere on Earth (PET and CO²). No trans-humanism required only augmentation, so neuralink is on the right path BUT if Elon even thinks of deploying it in space or Mars, chips or links could be compromised by cosmic radiation, rays or dust.
