There is a possibility, that someday in the future, people like Elon Musk will culture things like rockets. The vision is that things like trees would make so strong by using genetic engineering that they can use for the rocket structures.
Modern biotechnology makes brand-new renewing structures possible. The new structures are basing the genetic hybridization of different organisms. One of the most impressive theoretical construction materials is the hybridization of spiders, wood, and chorals. In that material, the cambium of the wood is replaced by silicone.
That those chorals are using in their shields. The genomes that are making the spider's web can turn the vascular bundles to the similar to what is forming the strongest material in nature. That material is a spider's web. And the wood is making the structure that can use the self-fixing materials. The fact is that this vision of futuristic materials might look a little bit too futuristic.
But when we are thinking possibility to change the veins of the trees to the same material as the spider's web we can make the ultimate biomaterial. The wood can turn extremely tough if we would press it to size by using very strong pressure or explosives. That thing will turn the internal structure of the wood homogenous.
The future of biotechnology has no limits. Genetic engineering makes it possible to connect the DNA bites. The ability to combine different species is unlimited. If the creators of those things have the right laboratories in use.
In the wildest vision, even the spacecraft can create by using biomaterials. Genetic engineering makes it possible to combine things like diatoms and cells that are creating a spider's web. What would somebody do with wood where the walls of the veins formed of the same material that creates the spider's web. The strongest material in nature.
The diatoms are the algae and bacteria that are creating the silicon core. And many other animals are creating shields by using limestones or silicone. One of those animals is choral. What if silicone cover's the cells of the wood?
