While some would argue that we live on an over-populated planet, no one is arguing that we live in a very under-populated universe.

However much we wish for it, space tourism will remain a playground for the wealthy elite for decades to come

I’d be happy to live in space if that’s the only place where there is enough room. In fact, I think I’d prefer it anyway. There’s tons of room out there, much more than on any planetary surface. The earth will probably be at most a tourist attraction by then — perhaps a reserved wilderness area.

Are we humans and its spirit are really living forever in different kinds of space and time. Examples are related to duplicate universes after death. The sensation in my nightly dreams indicates endless time and space.

Interesting article but your picture is of a man who plans to jump from 40,000 meters up in the stratosphere. It has little to do with Cryogenics. The two are unrelated other than his balloon capsule looks slightly like a cryogenic chamber. Need a better image Mr Blog Writer …

Are you crazy ? You want to keep people alive longer…We are already producing at a rate that is so ridiculous we have made our population jump from 1 billion to 6 billion in one hundred years. We do not need anything else to help this number rise any faster. Resources are becoming scarce and overpopulation is imminent. Unless you have a plan to start shooting frozen bodies into space as soon as your cryogenics starts working you may want to spend your time helping the people that are struggling to survive without age related health issues

Thats a crazy idea but we are NO WHERE near the point of colonizing other planets so how far in the future are we talking before this technology becomes feasible, 100, 200 years?

Nice article! An interesting take on the immortality bit is presented in Richard Morgan’s book “Altered Carbon” wherein people can have their consciousness digitized and then implanted into another body, if you can afford it. No need to worry about aging, just get a new, even custom, body. But a whole slew of other problems arise. Good story, anyway.

How long is any one consciousness meant to persist? Forever is a very long time.

I probably could be considered a “deviant” by some, and I’d sure hate for them to decide where that line would be and subsequently “fix” me. I shudder at the thought.

Thanks for the thought-provocation!
