The Titan sub, which is carrying five passengers, is thought to have no more than four days’ worth of emergency oxygen on board.
“Of course, we need to finetune everything before we can apply it to humans. But I would say that 10 years is a realistic timeline,” Ngo-Anh said.
This fine-tuning is already underway. First studies have shown that it’s possible to induce torpor in otherwise non-hibernating animals, such as rats, and bring them safely back to life a few days later. The process of triggering hibernation is rather intricate and involves reduced exposure to daylight and a period of intense feeding followed by a strict fast.
After that, those who have been waiting more than a decade for their ride aboard Virgin Galactic’s rocket-powered space plane are expected to get their chance. The company said the first of those flights will begin in early August, with monthly flights following that.
“This next exciting chapter for Virgin Galactic has been driven by innovation, determination and a commitment to delivering an unparalleled and truly transformative customer experience,” CEO Michael Colglazier said in a statement.
Virgin Galactic has been working for years to send paying passengers on short space trips and in 2021 finally won the federal government’s approval. The company completed its final test fight in May.

NASA recently announced its Wallops Visitor Center won’t be open for the mission and ‘there is no live stream planned for launch’.
Rocket Lab will launch a mission from NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia within the next few days, but the company has not disclosed what it is lifting to orbit and it won’t stream the mission live.
NASA announced via Twitter on Tuesday, June 13, that its Wallops facility is “scheduled to support a Rocket Lab launch between June 15–20 in the evening.”
Astronomers discovered two runaway stars racing out of our galaxy at speeds 10 times faster than the fastest human-made spacecraft.
