Heres a recent study made to select target stars for seti research, interestingly they have selected over 17,000 candidates which are within 450 lightyears of us.just to give you a small appreciation of how very very many habitable planets are probably out there.interestingly they conclude that many of these star systems are in fact binary or trinary systems and yet still have possible habitable zones. See http://arxiv.org/abs/astro-ph/0210675 Also some recent research (in rats but still interesting) which indicates naturally produced bile related compounds not only cross the blood-brain barrier but also reduce hemmorage related ischemic aptotic damage by 50% - maybe some compounds here which could be incorporated into cryonic procedures to reduce damage after rewarming.
