What if a child could be born without the genetic condition that affected generations of their family? Advances in CRISPR gene editing are bringing scientists closer to correcting the DNA changes responsible for certain inherited diseases. Treatments are already moving beyond laboratory experiments, with gene-editing therapies offering new options for people living with serious blood disorders. But the technology raises a much bigger question: could humanity eventually prevent inherited diseases before birth, extend healthy lifespans or even enhance human abilities? The science is advancing, but the path from treating disease to redesigning future generations is filled with technical challenges, ethical dilemmas and difficult questions about who gets to define a “better” human.

Humanity is returning to the Moon, but this time the ambition extends far beyond planting a flag. NASA's Artemis programme aims to establish the foundations for a sustained human presence on the lunar surface, opening new opportunities for scientific discovery, technological development and eventually crewed missions to Mars. Following the successful Artemis II crewed lunar flyby in April 2026, the programme is moving towards a new series of increasingly complex missions, including orbital tests of commercial lunar landers and a planned return to the lunar surface in 2028. Yet building a lasting presence on another world presents enormous challenges. From surviving extreme temperatures and radiation to extracting water ice and constructing habitats, Artemis could become the beginning of a new era of space exploration—or a test of how much humanity is willing to invest in reaching beyond Earth.
