would it be cold enough to keep your body preserved... with out power or machinery? I want to be buried in space so that I might be found, revived, and have what ever killed me fixed in the future...
how much would this cost?

It may cost more than having your remins cryogenically preserve here on earth. And if your body stays here, you're much more likely not to get lost. Plus the bonus of people knowing what your intentions are.
I'm also thinking that shooting yourself into space would have to happen IMMEDIATELY to preserve you properly. Not likely - since you would have to wait for whenever the next launch happens.
With cyrogenics, I believe (if there is notice, i.e. you die in a hospital and are not hit by a bus) they are right there to begin the process as soon as you're declared dead. Even an hour's wait will result in too much degeneration.

It costs >$1,000/pound to send something into space, so it wouldn't be cheap. Yes, you would be preserved well enough. However, in order to be found again you'd likely need thrusters to maintain orbit (lest it decays and you are cremated on the trip back through the atmosphere) and a homing beacon. You'd also need some way to guarantee that anyone would bother to find you again.

It may be cold enough, but the retrieveal would be almost impossible. The container may get crushed by some drbris which could damage your body beyonf repair.
[dont take this offenseively] It would probably cost more than you and I would make combined for two of our life times.

It would cost about $2

Lol I am not sure. I know that that is not an available option for dead corpses. That is a good and creative idea, but nobody has tried it before. And how do you know that your going to get killed by a machine?

I think it would be extremely difficult/expensive to be put in a location that gives adequate distance from Earth's gravitational pull. Before long, your container would be pulled into earth's atmosphere and burn up.

what about having that freezing done-i think it's called cryogenic?
