As a result, the Human Genome Project will provide the most complete plan ever of our own, biological hardware. Currently in early flight tests, if successful the X-33 will lead to the construction of a commercial RVL spaceplane from Lockheed Martin known as the VentureStar. For further information see NASA's X-33 home page , or Lockheed Martin's VentureStar web site. This too currently is undergoing prototype flight tests, and is totally funded from industry sources.

Nanotechnology is the fledgling science of manufacturing at the near-atomic level.
Transhumanist thinkers and advocates are therefore at the forefront of many futures debates, including the development of cybernetics, the direct linkage of human beings to computer systems, virtual reality, cryogenics, life extension, space research, and nanotechnology.
