[QUOTE="MODAT7, post: 257427, member: 13649"] Who's not to say that aliens found a long dead Earth, went back in time, took some samples, returned to their present (following the Temporal Prime Directive), fed it into their supercomputer, and we're all living in their simulation of humanity being studied like lab rats? I've studied cryo pods (as in deep freezing) for some story ideas. I came to the conclusion that it would kill any humans trying it. The solution was genetic engineering since there's life on this planet that can handle the deep cold. This would require significant changes to humans, but it seems doable. Hibernation would be viable with the right drugs, but as the article mentioned, it would be for relatively short time periods. Most of the drugs to do this right now are somewhat toxic and can kill a person. Hibernation would get deeper and deeper as better drugs and technology developed. The third option would be a stasis pod that truly stopped time inside it. Anything and any being could safely use something like this. The main drawback is high power usage. Another thing I noted is that "sleeper missions" aren't really practical beyond the 3-10 year mark, depending on the mission parameters. With technology rapidly advancing (at least ideally), by the time someone spends 10 years in stasis, space travel has improved enough that the mission could easily be done in a fraction of that time. It would be kinda funny if astronauts took off for Alpha Centauri on a 10 year flight just to be passed by astronauts with newer technology 5 years into that flight. By the time the first astronauts got there, their new exploratory mission would be scrapped because there's already a colony there. [/QUOTE]
