Response from Dr. Talk on our medical team: "Since all metabolic activity is slowed while in the Torpor state it would be expected that nail and hair growth would decrease at an equal metabolic rate. This would slow hair growth and nail growth by approximately 40-50%. If asleep for the entire 6 month trip to Mars, this would equal about 1 inch of hair growth and 9 mm (or about 3/8 inch) for nails."John Bradfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10526865263277003830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1903566473260633446.post-33373253676688079872014-05-05T13:01:47.685-07:002014-05-05T13:01:47.685-07:00Would hair and nails grow?
