Muscle Atrophy and bone decalc..err whatever that is are ofc major issues, but how about if we can somehow adapt humans so that we can be put into hibernation states like other large mammals? It's worth a try and would cut down the mass we'd have to carry or at least we wouldn't have to recycle as much. |
