Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Will we ever...hibernate in space?
It’ll take several months to go to Mars, stay there, and get back to Earth. You’ll need a lot of air, food, and water just to stay alive. Also, you’ll need to spend months in a small cabin where there are only a few small windows to just see dark space. But if you’re in a state of torpor, you won’t need as much air, food, or water as you’re in normal condition because your metabolic rate decreased considerably. And of course, you won’t need to kill time in a tiny space just waiting to get to the planet. Furthermore, if you’re hibernated, you won’t lose as much muscle and bone density as you breathe regularly in space where there is no gravity. So, hibernating isn’t just to kill time but it is physically needed for space traveling unless breakthrough technologies make space trip much faster.
Enjoy reading the article and learning about the benefits of hibernation.
