The European Space Agency is currently exploring human hibernation as a means of addressing the problem of sending humans into deep space. A recent study conducted by the agency determined that putting people to sleep for long voyages would save money, provide health benefits, and allow for more efficient space ship designs.

There's a bunch of reasons why the trip to Mars could be deadly for humans, not the least of which are harmful space radiation , space psychosis , and space atrophy . But, according to the results of the ESA's study, these problems could be mitigated if people were placed into a state of hibernation.

A New Health Risk in Human Spaceflight - The Atlantic
Astronauts are more than cosmic travelers. They're also research subjects in the careful study of what exactly outer space does to the human body. On the ground, researchers measure vitals, draw blood, swab cheeks, and more. In orbit around the Earth, the astronauts do the work themselves.

An astronaut was carrying out an ultrasound on their own body as part of a new study, guided in real time by a specialist on the ground. A similar test before the astronaut launched to space had come back normal. But now the scan showed a clump of blood.
How Space Travel, Politics, Tokyo Olympics Will Shape Fashion in 2020 – Sourcing Journal
In fashion, the year 2020 not only represents the deadline for Greenpeace’s Detox campaign to eliminate hazardous chemicals from clothing production, it will also be a year that brings global politics and space exploration to the runway, according to Lyst .
In the “Year in Fashion 2019” report, the global fashion search platform peered into its crystal ball to identify five cultural trends that will influence fashion in 2020.

Similar to Y2K, the year 2020 has been a source of inspiration for sci-fi storytellers for decades. Therefore, it should come as no surprise that fashion is feeling futuristic vibes too. Holographic fabrics, outerwear that mimics the look of space suits and “otherworldy styling” are among the trends Lyst has identified as trends to watch for Spring/Summer 2020.
A NASA Study Revealed Long Space Travel Can Be Deadly for Astronauts | Tech Times
NASA has been planning on sending people to the moon once again, as well as further space travel for humans and hopefully reach Mars in a few years. But with the discovery from a NASA research, will the space agency continue with their plan?

The study was done on 11 healthy astronauts, consisting of two females and nine males of around 46 years old and have stayed an average length of six months aboard the International Space Station or the ISS.

Credit Suisse: Buy Virgin Galactic for monopoly on space tourism
Credit Suisse began coverage of Virgin Galactic with an outperform rating Thursday, saying in an a note titled "The Ultimate Joyride" that the firm sees multiple factors driving the space tourism stock higher.
"Our bullish view reflects the near-term monopoly SPCE offers in an industry (commercial space tourism) where public investment opportunities are scarce. We view this as a classic tech-driven high demand, low supply story with high barriers to entry," Credit Suisse analyst Robert Spingarn wrote in a note to investors. "Not everyone will see the value, but we believe the math works nonetheless."
Remembering Apollo Astronaut Al Worden's Visit to Mister Rogers' Neighborhood | Space
In 1971, Apollo astronaut Al Worden flew to the moon, carrying a letter from Mr. Rogers with him.
The beloved legacy of Fred Rogers, famously Mr. Rogers from the TV show "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood," has reentered the mainstream following the 2018 documentary " Won't You Be My Neighbor? " and with the feature film "A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood" premiering today (Nov. 22). With that return, we remember the time that Worden crossed paths with Mr. Rogers.
Starfleet commander Shatner gets a lesson in space travel from Julie Payette at Order of
He may have been receiving one of Canada’s highest honours but William Shatner — Captain Kirk himself — got a lesson in space Thursday from someone who’s been there.
Before the ceremony, former astronaut and now Governor General Julie Payette took the floor and, with two actors who have travelled to space on the big screen sitting in front of her, wondered curiously about the Hollywood fascination with the stars.
Payette told the story of the time she went to the movies with her friend Scott Kelly, the astronaut who recently spent a year in space. Of course, they took in a space movie, and for Payette it was more familiar than she expected.
