I agree with the others that this is a long way off. But just imagine, if 200 years from now, you could grow a space-worthy carapace overnight, with attachments for gear. And organs that transform a dense solid into maneuvering gas and oxygenated blood. In fact, we could just do away with the whole breathing thing, that is so unreliable and unhygienic.

And organs that transform a dense solid into maneuvering gas and oxygenated blood. I would expect that to happen. It's not a weird approach, it's perfectly reasonable - biology, after all, is technology. A very advanced nanotech that we did not engineer and we don't control yet, but technology nonetheless. Humans are not bound to deal only with metals, plastics and electricity forever.
