The 20 Year Cryosleep Journey into Interstellar Space (Sci-Fi Documentary)

This is a sci-fi documentary, following a crew of astronauts on board a cryo-sleep spaceship as it travels out into interstellar space; explaining the steps of putting a person into cryosleep, replicating animal hibernation.
How do the sleep pods keep the astronauts alive? What happens if the spaceship fails to awaken the passengers? And what about the families back home on Earth - are they also put into a multi-decade suspended animation?
There are 22 passengers on board the cryoship. It is a 20 year journey.
Personal inspiration in creating this video came from: Interstellar (the movie), The Expanse (TV show and books), and Star Trek Next Gen.
Other topics in the video include: An explanation of the interstellar sleep pod and how the chamber keeps the passengers alive, where is the cryo spaceship going on its interstellar journey carrying the 22 sleeping explorer astronauts, the scientific concept of torpor inducement that puts the astronauts into a cryo / hypersleep, and the types of animals on Earth that also go into hibernation.

Probably the most detailed and impressive yet simplified video on deep space cryosleep paired with the worst possible analog for a destination.

[@alexandercarder2281]

It’s not the worst destination as it came from the centre of the milkyway. If it was still in its original orbit there would never be any hope of reaching it, but because it was flung out of its orbit towards the solar system we are able to visit it.

[@jasonbrady3606]

Hybernetic genes in the gnome. They've found that hybernating animals with a type a bacteria in their gut that is able to digest urine and other waste products. Then body is able to reabsorb the bacteria as a food source. Animals without the gut bacteria were very malnourished after hybernating. Animals with it only needed couple of days to be back in top shape. Bears some squirrels.. This technology is conceivable. I'd say three-months hybernating, one month of recuperation. On rotation 1/4 of the crew and passengers are awake, throughout the journey. Each year is 3mon awake for passengers and crew. Silly bet but I'd think that's how it goes.

There is a frog in Iceland that is frozen solid for 7 months during the year and thaws out and comes back to life. That frog increases it's glucose level 40 times before freezing and this somehow protects it's cells from being damaged when frozen. It may be that simple, increase glucose levels before freezing.

Machines and computers will last longer than human flesh. To explore other planets, we will be sending AI and robots like we are doing now within the solar system. Long after we re gone, robots that we have created to explore, terri-form, and replicate will keep going. If we find other "intelligent beings," they're likely to be machines.. that were created by some other flesh based organism from some time ago. When you think about it, it's kinda crazy. That the chance that all this has happened before and it will happen again and again. It's easier to create super intelligent machines than to bridge the distance between interstellar objects, planets and galaxies. We will at some point, realize this and focus our development toward space exploration with machines and send them out first. To bridge the distance between galaxies, you'll need to move faster than light.. and we are closer to creating buff and smart machines than FTL space exploration

[@surriealspy8606]

Sooooooo, Just a few inquires... Given the age of the Chief medical officer in this film, have they considered the physical toll, of going into & coming out of cryo-sleep over 21 times, during their galactic road trip? What's the aging process for do, since the rest of the crew will supposedly only age 5 months out off the 20 year trip?? Is turning off all the lights, inside an outside, because it saves energy and going completely dark, where you cant see any part of the ship on the outside, so that while they travel they do not risk being seen by other galatic road trip travelers? So what happens, after youve spent 20 years traveling, and you arrive to the planet you have been researching and planning for, and then find out that it is not habitable to live on? Do they turn around and go home, only losing 10 months of total aging time? Or do they use the distance they have gained, and see if they can find a Goldie Locks Planet from where they are at that time? Are leaders of the crew going to bring weapons? Will the military be involved? Are pets or working animals allowed to go? What is the selection process to go on such a long journey? Will there be any lifeboat ship that can take everyone home in case of an emergency, and will those ships be able to replicate the Cryo-Sleep setup for a long distance return? Will the ship have any defensive capabilities to protect itself from enemies, Foreign Galaxies away or Milky Way Domestic..? Once the ship touches down, what's the next plan? Will they load up a bunch more ships are start the great galactic migration? What is the plan if the 2nd ship arrives to a Roanoke situation? After setting up shop and gotten started on growing the population, will the next step be to send out another ark ship to another plant so we can start becoming a Multi-Planet / Multi-Galaxy, interplanetary Species? Final question, what happens if after we started populating a couple of Goldie Locks planets, each so far that have been empty of Sentiant life, we finally run into alien species either while in travel or on one of the next planets we find, what will do in that encounter? Are we trying to make freinds?

[@Shire_Sam]

If humanity is going to deep space we are going to have to genetically alter our astronauts to survive it. Radiation resistance, the ability the maintain muscle conditioning, something that keeps the calcium in our bones and something to modify our blood cells to more efficiently carry oxygen. Maybe natural genetic mutation after humans have been in near earth microgravity for several generations. That is unless we can find a faster way of traveling. But we would need a leap in how we understand physics to do this.

If and when we master cryosleep, imagine the space time travel generational loop. Visualize this: 2100: cryo sleep mastered, max speed space crafts can travel is 10% speed of light (SoL). We send a group toward Planet A that will take 1000 years. They head out. 2200: initial group is now 900 years away from planet A, and we can travel at a speed that a new group would arrive at planet A in 800. The intial group would then arrive there later than the group who departed later from earth. Therefore creating an inverse generational loop.

[@ErikaHruska]

[@david39t80]

Suggest a bit of expose on the prep done using automation at the destination site. Something on the fact that certain moral compromises must be made so that the departure does not have to be delayed 15 years for the problems to be solved. Two to three always-awake multi skilled attendants will be required, operating in 4 month shifts unless they are pre conditioned for longer. These will be volunteers of vetted enthusiasts willing to trade their lives for the experience. The psychological vetting of each member will have to be complete, to overcome innate human tendencies that could end everyone's life on board due to social conflict. Children must also be present mostly female, who are old enough to consent to being baby mules and young enough to perform the role for the duration.VR addiction will need managed. A discussion on laws, regulations, punishment would be interesting. And let's talk about equity and diversity while we are entertained by this particular version of science.

Unrealistic. Sitting in the same position in the sleep pod for 10 years would be horrific for the human body. In palliative care, patients need to be turned every 2 hours to prevent skin and tissue damage. Can't imagine what a 10 years cryo-sleep would do to the joints, internal organs, skin etc. As far as i know, animals in hibernation move during their sleep or even awaken from time to time. The astronauts would probably need for their health regular awakening periods and sport for recovery.
