Man to Mars... frozen? (7.9.1961)

Core body temperature to -190

- The first American, who will be sent on an 18 month trip to Mars or Venus, may be "deep frozen" to save the precious space required for food and oxygen reserves, says young american researcher dr. Charles Huggins at the surgical congress in Dublin.

- Dr. Huggins spoke to 500 intrigued surgeons about the matter of requiring an immensely large spaceship to send a man to Mars, or Venus, and back with the required food reserves and oxygen.

- The ideal solution would be to freeze a man to -190 degrees negative, and to send him to space in this state. During the 18 month trip he would not have to eat nor breathe. His heart and other vital organs would temporarily stop functioning.

- Dr. Huggins said to have "somewhat successfully" to have frozen goldfish.
