      The pressure in space is really low, because there is no atmosphere, which means that humans have too much pressure inside them, so they would burst (urgh).
      For us to breath we would need more pressure in space, from at atmosphere, and it would have to contain oxygen.
      I don’t think space will ever be ok for us to breathe normally. The solar wind strips away atmosphere, the only reason we have one is because of the magnetic field of the Earth protects our atmosphere from being stripped away.
