How much do you sleep?💤 #shorts

Just think about the amount of food and water that a crew of astronauts would need to go all the way to Mars, as well as all the mental, physiological, and, most importantly, radiation risk challenges. How about we avoid all of those issues by putting the astronauts to sleep? The main problem is that humans don’t hibernate. Astronauts would have to take a drug to induce hibernation and enter sleeping pods, quiet environments with low lights, high humidity, kept at temperatures below 10°C. Hibernation not only promises to benefit astronauts in space, but it may also offer new potential applications for patient care on Earth. ★ Subscribe: http://bit.ly/ESAsubscribe and click twice on the bell button to receive our notifications.
