General Trek Questions and Observations

[Shawnster]

How common/desirable would it be in the 24th century to freeze yourself in order to skip certain periods of time you didn't wish to live through, not because you were sick/dead wishing to be revived and cured? (Assuming cryonics enjoyed a revival after the discovery of the frozen people in "The Neutral Zone")

Suspended animation seems to be a much more stables and reliable technology by the 24th century. Voyager's crew spent a month in hibernation while traveling through a part of the Delta Quadrant

One of Harry Kim's ancestors was aboard a cryogenic sleeper ship that took a good long while to get from one planet to another, though the way he described that ancestor that ship would have existed after Cochrane broke the warp barrier and humans were building warp-capable ships, so sleeper vessels with cryogenic suspension capsules in the 22nd century would have been largely anachronistic.

Or it was those pesky Vulcans.

 

[Firebird]

I'm not saying it was Vulcans... but, it was Vulcans.

T'Plot-hol was quite the effective explorer!
