Is suspended animation a viable thing for space travel?

There is none. Interstellar exploration in our biological bodies is a pipe dream.

No since lazy ass scientists aren't working on anything important at all. We're approaching a singularity of stagnation where nothing meaningful will ever be developed ever again. Except for new smartphone technology, such as being able to fold in half.

No, when cells freeze the ice crystals forming within burst the cell membranes. Widespread cell death.

Suspended animation is supposed to be closer to a hibernation state. Medically induced comas only really effect the nervous system, the rest of the body's metabolism effectively continues as normal.

There are a handful of examples of hypothermia victims reaching a state similar to this, but we're not able to intentionally induce it for medical purposes.

Generation ships. People are born and die on the ship

>also more realistic versions involve a lack of gravity to prevent physical decay from that.
Low gravity causes muscular atrophy and bone decalcification

>Put soldiers on a generational ship for a mission
>When they arrive, their kids are painters, lawyers and gender studies professors
>They get slaughtered by bugs

What's the point of having tech inside you when tech allows you to keep your organic body young and healthy for longer than ever?

Obviously this is for colonization purposes, not to fight

It will be for earthlings, who use slow rockets.
The other beings use gravity drives.

Stop for some brawls with space niggers en route to the destination so the future generations don't get too soft.

in a long ship and with enough tech i just want to sit my cibernetic ass, flip a switch on my head and have a nap while the AI take me to destination over centuries of voyage

yes, that's why I said they exist in the form and not the actual process.
only where metabolic processes are fully active and atrophy/degredation isn't being counteracted through advanced means. 2001: a space odyssey demonstrates this really well for its release date

You'd need Fascism for it to work, to keep the population of the ship permanently militarized.

you're in one right now. its time to wake up.

Yes.

Yes but to a point. After so many years atomic decomposition leads to radiation poisoning and no amount of cryo can prevent it. Look it up.

what are we talking about here
freezing people? freezing live animals doesn't really end well

even if we do figure something out, our brains wont be able to handle the sheer amount of time that elapsed.

Not within our lifetimes, but in the far future it's plausible.

It's more probable that we'll just ditch the meatbags entire and upload our consciousness into machine bodies.

people wouldn't relate to sci fi stories without any human characters whatsoever

in theory it works

unless you had an android onboard to make sure the equipment doesn't break down or your space ship needs to alter course due to something unforeseen in your path

but something like this would only be worth it if your planet is dying and this was the peak of your space tech in order to get to another part of the galaxy

frogs can survive it

Not if they're generation ships. Science fictions writers hashed this all out in the 60's and 70's.

Earth is a generational spaceship. Think about it.

whoaaaa bro
