There’s nothing more frustrating than sitting in your car on a long multi-day cross-country road trip. Sure, you get an adrenaline rush at first because you’re excited about the adventure. Her first hour or two is spent in a state of excitement, listening to her favorite happy-go-lucky music. But once the initial period of revelry subsides, you can’t wait until you reach your destination. Stasis pods from the Alien series are perfect for solving such long wait times.
The stasis pod will cryogenically freeze the crew, slowing the aging process and preserving them perfectly until they reach their destination. The people in the movie may have traveled light years, but when they wake up, it feels like it was only a few minutes, and they feel like they just woke up from a good night’s sleep. Not only does this small device make long-term travel more bearable, but the stasis pod could also be used by those who want to see into the future.
Freeze someone and leave them frozen for hundreds of years, like in a time capsule or the cryopod in “Demolition Man.” And wake them up in the future. At least it’s a good invention for when humans finally achieve interstellar travel. Astronauts can survive a trip to the Andromeda galaxy, more than 2.5 billion light years from Earth.
