Unfortunately, I suspect they would make it.

Cockraoches are probably the most resilliant animal form of life on Earth. They have survived ice ages and every extinction level event since the begining of the Earth.
As for the fact that 'roaches don't live long enough, maybe the first generation won't still be alive, but sure as eggs is eggs, their progeny would be.
The 'roach will almost certainly outlive humanity.

It depends on whether an ion engine is used to propel the space craft or not. With an ion engine I have calculated that they would live until the craft was exactly 3.237690 miles beyond Neptune,then they would turn into ladybugs!!!!!

The wouldn't. Cockroaches wouldn't live that long, I'm betting. It would take about 8 years to Neptune itself. Cockroaches don't live that long, to my knowledge...

I know insects such as the black-bodied beetle (Trigonoscelis gigas), wasps, butterflies, ants and moths etc have been taken to space for behavioral studies and observation. Perhaps you would like to Volunteer with NASA to take along the little creature GRIN*

Yep, crockroaches and cocadiles . . .
Their chances are greater than any of us suspect.
