Here’s why hibernating in space might not be possible for humans after all
Here’s why hibernating in space might not be possible for humans after all April 30, 2022 Sending humans virtually anywhere in space beyond the moon is pushing the logistics of health, nutrition, and psychology to limits we are only just beginning to grasp. A basic solution to these problems in science fiction is to simply put the void travelers to bed for a while. In a sleep-like state akin to hibernation or torpor, metabolism drops and the mind is spared the tedium of waiting for endless empty hours. In contrast to faster-than-light travel and wormholes, the premise of putting astronauts into a kind of hibernation seems within reach. Enough that even the European Space Agency is taking a serious look at the science behind it. https://www.sciencealert.com/a-commo...ess-for-humans |

Back in the 1960's, in 90% white America, space travel was on everybody's mind. After all, it was in that same decade that America reached the pinnacle of its greatness when white men landed on the Moon. (if you weren't around back then you got gypped, kinda like not seeing the best movie of the year - only better) Putting men on Mars by 1985 was next for us. That is, until somebody realized niggers just weren't cuttin' it and took that Mars money and spent it on them.
Anyway, here's three TV/Movie portrayals of interstellar suspended animation technology from "The Twilight Zone", "Star Trek", and "The Planet of the Apes" from 1964, 1967, & 1968. |

Passengers (2016) also presented suspended animation/hibernation in a relatively plausible way. I think we will figure out how do it eventually.
I recently wrote a fan fiction story based on this movie which also included hibernation. https://archiveofourown.org/works/38223610
