Rest on the Trip to the Red Planet

![rest.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmQ8b16ngNP9rgpzSEncpyddyewKdbPyNvEM11oEMwSgGH/rest.png)

It's a common trope in sci-fi: for long, interplanetary voyages, the crew is put into some kind of artificial hibernation. The thing is, NASA is already exploring the concept for a future trip to Mars.

Technically known as "torpor," this artificial hibernation would involve a sedative hooked up to one's chest via an IV, along with a feeding tube. However, one of the benefits of this process is that participants will need less nutrition and oxygen, allowing the crew to save resources. To that end, the body would be cooled down below the point of hyperthermia, similar to the concept of cryogenetic freezing.

Potential pitfalls of this process: muscles would atrophy, unless the pod was designed to stimulate them throughout one's rest. Also, anticoagulants would be needed to make sure that blood does not clot during one's dormant state and cause potential damage.

Our future Martian would probably not sleep through the whole six-month journey, however; every few weeks, crew members would take turn waking for a few days to "stretch their legs," so to speak, and possibly care for the other sleeping passengers. Then it's time to wake up your replacement and catch a few more z's until arrival.

Does ageing also slows down while in this state and by how much?
Would be interesting to see a 100 year old with a body of 30.

This is very interesting. I had never thought about the muscle atrophy aspect before, that is probably the biggest reason why those "deep sleep" space travel devices will never work...

@simonjones first I must commend you on this post that's why I decided to follow you.
Then again...Trip to MArs isn't a bad idea I have watched videos on curiousity robot.
Your analysis isn't different from what I have read in the past about trip to mars.
Don't you think this could be suicidal at this point?
