LEEDS: Since time immemorial, humans have often wished they could curl up and sleep away those cold winter days like their furry friends, but that dream could one day become a reality with scientists investigating new ways for astronauts to hibernate in space.
According to Leopold Summerer, the head of the advanced concepts team at the European Space Agency, research could put “some science fiction into the realm of science reality” within our lifetimes.
Taking lessons from the techniques used by animal hibernators, sciences are already using some of them in experimental medical therapies such as therapeutic hypothermia, which involves lowering the body’s temperature for several days at a time, to help treat people with traumatic brain injuries.
