Maintaining muscle mass & strength on long space flights?
Astronauts lose strength if spending a long time in zero-g. Curiously, bears hibernate a long time and wake up just as strong as before. Why? I wonder if someday we just might take advantage of this trick for space travel. At a minimum, I suppose we could simply send bears to space instead of humans!
