NASA funds research into deep-sleep journey for Mars astronauts

The video discusses a NASA-funded concept where astronauts could hibernate during a long Mars mission. Sleep chambers equipped with cooling systems and nutrition tubes would lower body temperature and metabolism, inducing a torpor state. Muscle atrophy concerns are addressed with neuromuscular stimulation. As the spacecraft nears Mars, astronauts are gradually awakened, ready to begin their mission.
