The safe method of bringing people to Mars

The US Aeronautics and Space Agency (NASA) is looking for a breakthrough method that can bring people safely to Mars, and hibernation can be the most effective approach.

>>>Will astronauts "hibernate" on the way?

While human space programs are still in their infancy in the field of interstellar exploration, NASA scientists are seeking to send manned spacecraft to an unprecedented goal. Real human: Mars.

However, the problem here is how to get safe astronauts to Mars, and now NASA experts are borrowing ideas from novels and science fiction films, putting people in hibernation state , according to CNET.

In this state, the metabolic functions in the astronauts' bodies will slow down.

In hypothermia, people can enter hibernation, as is the case in special care rooms in some hospitals, but only maintain for about a week, too short for the time needed. In missions to Mars, it takes more than 180 days.

To prolong this time, NASA has joined forces with aerospace engineering company SpaceWorks Enterprises in an effort to improve its adoption.

If possible, the weight of the spacecraft will drop sharply, from about 400 tons to 220 tons when hibernating.

According to current technology, the system called RhinoChill can take 6 hours to reduce body temperature and put the body into a sleepy state (32-34 degrees C).

The title has been changed.
