         | implementation remain elusive and the energy requirements are
         | enormous... so, could be impossible.

         | Beyond that, I think humans may eventually colonize the moon,
         | Mars, and the clouds of Venus, but I highly doubt we will make
         | it out of the Solar System before our species dies out.

       | As someone that spends almost no time thinking about hibernation,
       | this was a pretty interesting read! On the problem of weight
       | needed to sustain a crew to and from Mars, could we not setup
       | something like a network of stations for the sole purpose of
       | resupplying ships on long journeys? A moon base seems like it
       | would be a good start as well.
