The technology for storage and reactivation will be perfected for use in interplanetary and, especially, intersolar flights, and because some people may want to experience the thrill of subjectively jumping through time into a new world. This last, "temporal jump" practice, if it happens, will also ensure that legal structures will be developed for protecting people's assets while they are inactivate. Max More.
