That would have a nice side benefit or making space exploration much more economical. Faster too if you can bioengineer higher G resistance at the same time. Maybe someday the outer planets will be colonized by tiny humans measured in millimeters, with 125mm humans darting around the various moons shot out of repurposed tank canons, all laughing at the slow giants stuck down the gravity well on Earth.

Their tiny brains might be an issue for space exploration. But ideal for setting up a government when they arrive.

Or just normal sized humans simulated on a supercomputer the size of a matchbox…

Then how will tinder be? "If you're less than 10 cm don't talk to me midget".

OTOH can the heart perform equally good if human get miniaturized?

This is one reason an all female astronaut team has been considered.
