     @hazlin @gabriel if stored improperly. even slight temperature changes cause thermal expansion which causes cracking. a lot of cryonically preserved corpses had to be buried because they were falling apart.

     so, being awakened by the Omnissiah, requires you to have a zero down time cryo service until he arrives xD?

     @Inginsub @hazlin @gabriel isn't the guy who founded the first company for it still rotting in his capsule in California? It became some weird, stinky shrine or something for cryo people to visit? Am I making this up?

     @hazlin @gabriel not only that, it has to have at least somewhat precise temperature controls. also, cold storage is expensive, and one client's money only last so long, so these companies need new bodies to pay for old ones - the system requires exponential growth to be sustainable in the long term - or to bury the oldest bodies once their contracts expire

     @cassidyclown @gabriel @hazlin i think it was a funny story, like his wife divorced him and took half the company, and that's why he had to cut the costs

     Makes me wonder about the viability of a binary synchronous sattlite, on the dark side of the Earth.
     
     Sable temperature, and low odds of disturbance...?

     @hazlin @gabriel it's gonna be prohibitively expensive: satellites don't just stay in orbit, they veer off course for various reasons (tidal forces, magnetic field, space dust, gravity of other celestial bodies) and need to carry a supply of rocket fuel (or monopropellant, i'm not sure). when it runs out, you will need to refuel the satellite or let it go wherever it wants

     @cassidyclown @gabriel @hazlin there was news 10-15 years ago that one of the bodies developed deep lengthwise cracks and had to be buried because it was deemed irrecoverable. that's how i learned about cryonics

     @Inginsub @gabriel @hazlin I was thinking of this
     https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frozen_Dead_Guy_Days
     I think it was tagged onto the end of a cryogenics video I watched ages ago. I remember the bodies on ice in the backyard thing as well.

     @Inginsub @gabriel @hazlin Robert Nelson (guy behind it) did get himself frozen (without cryoprotectant) in 2018 and it seems like he's still in storage. He'll get the last laugh for sure.
