This is probably the only way "humans" are going to colonize any planets other than Earth. And probably lots of new places on Earth too.

Just include the genes for extreme-cold or extreme-arid climates. Or the genes for low oxygen environments, or even for metabolizing useful things from eating rocks. Or from spending 24 hours a day in salt water.
