X-Message-Number: 4628 From: (Thomas Donaldson) Subject: Re: CryoNet #4620 - #4622 Date: Fri, 14 Jul 1995 22:45:44 -0700 (PDT) Hi! Subject: Where is Steve Harris? I have recently noticed that Steve Harris no longer has his Compuserve address. If anyone (including Steve!) has an email address for him I'd very much like to know it. Subject: using lava. As I understand it, the main problem with the various substances which freeze well below the temperature of water but above that of LN2 is that they are flammable. That becomes dangerous if we want to store people in them for long periods. So isn't the clathrate lava proposed likely to be flammable if tried on Earth? I personally believe that at some future date (and I don't think the basic idea of cryonics will ever become outmoded) we'll be able to store people in places where the natural temperature is just right ie. somewhere in the outer solar system (if we are still freezing them rather than using some other method). If we remain in storage long enough, we might even end up being stored that way. But that time is still a long way off. Best and long long life, Thomas Donaldson Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=4628
