This would be possible I think with a little DNA help but for now we need it. Our Bones start to go after just a short while and it affects more than just your bones it also affects your heart and other organs I will try to get more accurate info and post it

Our atmosphere is a mixture of gases -- 78 percent nitrogen, 21 percent oxygen, 1 percent other gases -- at a pressure of 14 lbs/in2 (1 atm). The ISS astronauts will need a similar atmosphere.

To achieve this, oxygen and nitrogen will have to be supplied:

The Russian Elektron generator will make oxygen by splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen (electrolysis).

Solid fuel oxygen generators or oxygen candles will be burned to make additional oxygen, if required.

The space shuttle or Progress supply ships will bring nitrogen from Earth, and store it in external tanks on the station.

In later phases of construction, external tanks will supply oxygen; these tanks can be refilled by the space shuttle. In the final stage, an additional electrolysis oxygen generator will be added to the station.

The pressure control assembly (a system of pumps and valves) will mix the nitrogen and oxygen in the right percentages, monitor the atmospheric pressure and depressurize the station when necessary to prevent overpressure or to extinguish a fire during an emergency.

Besides air, water is the most important element aboard the ISS.

Initially, the space shuttle and Progress supply vehicles will bring water from Earth. On the ISS, water will be highly conserved.

There will be no long, luxurious showers. In fact, most astronauts get by with sponge baths.

The water recovery and management subsystem will collect, recycle and distribute water from various sources including:

Sink
Shower
Urine - from the astronauts and from laboratory animals onboard
Spacesuit wastewater
Heating and cooling systems
Cabin air - moisture exhaled by astronauts and laboratory animals
The space shuttle's fuel cells
