NASA funds suspended animation and other far-out space tech ideas

NASA funds suspended animation and other far-out space tech ideas - NBC News.com: "NASA has granted funding to a dozen imaginative tech concepts, in the hopes that one or more of them will lead to big breakthroughs in space science and exploration.

The 12 ideas, which were selected under Phase 1 of the NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts program, or NIAC, are ambitious and varied. One aims to build biomaterials such as human tissue with a 3D printer. Another proposes to induce deep-sleep torpor states in astronauts making the long journey to Mars."
