Flying people

Scientist and author Freeman Dyson predicts that millions of years from now humans could evolve to live in space without requiring breathing apparatus. If you think this is crazy, imagine a prehistoric fish trying to imagine that someday beings will live above the water.

I don't know about all that, but watching this video makes me wonder if we're about to jump that next evolutionary step where we start to fly. We do that for a few million years and soon we are good at living full-time in places with little air. A few million years later, no air. A few million years later, in space.
