"It takes six to nine months to get to Mars using traditional propulsion technology. Keeping astronauts happy and healthy for such long stretches in deep space would be no small feat, requiring lots of food, water and other consumables, as well as relatively large living spaces that include a kitchen, sleeping quarters and exercise equipment (to mitigate bone loss, muscle atrophy and other hazards of microgravity)."
Lowered metabolism of hibernation means less loss of bone and muscle mass. Less food and water supplies. Less power generation needs and less fuel required because the journey can be plotted for a least fuel expenditure.
A True Human Hibernation, could revolutionize the very idea of space exploration and travel.
Just more of the things I think about and dream of for my kids and possible grandkids.
