We are waiting for the appearance of the Space Human.

  Where is Kevin Costner, we need a Waterworld version for microgravity... Seriously though, I would expect humans to evolve to adapt to Mars gravity, space station microgravity/nongravity, and so on. Or future generations are stuck running on treadmills a lot, living on huge spinning space stations to simulate gravity effects on the body.

    You don't even need the waterworld reference. There is a great series of books (and now a TV show) where "Belters" are space adapted humans. It turns into an interesting, if not pretty depressing, racism problem between those that grew up "down the well" instead of in space.

      For people interested, the series (and tv show) is called "The Expanse".

        Only last week discovered this and binged the current 3 seasons, not met a sci fi series that got me as excited since Babylon 5. Hard to pin it down as well as has so much of everything that it is unique in itself, highly recommended.

        Yikes. I thought I mentioned this, thanks!
