With the help of cryogenics we can preserve a dead body in order to give them life later.

That's still science fiction and wishful thinking. Many cells do not survive freezing. They burst.
Without FTL drives, the best bet for deep space exploration and colonization is still multi-generational ships.

Some day way down into the future, we might be able to do so. But for cryogenics, we don't need to go that far, for we find the coldest temperateure known (absolute zero = zero kelvon) already inside our very own galaxy. We wouldn't even need to leave the solar system, just being away far enough from the sun inside the shadow of one the gas giants would be enough to reach almost zero ...
And with cryogenics ... hmm... if we ever started to send people there ... the future itself would overtake them. So to speak, they would be send on a journey for I don't know how many years ... meanwhile, technic on earth would have become more sophisticated up to a level we can built spacecrafts with a speed of way more than just light speed ... and the people laying in cryogenics would be overtaken by those who might have started a thousand years later.
And, btw, getting to the edge of our galaxy with the speed of light takes already way more than 1000 years ... the nearest edge of our MilkyWay is still in a distance of about 20,000 lightyears. (behind the crab nebula).

Cryogenics DO NOT give life to a deae body as you are insisting. They can onle preserve the dead body for a very long time without a decay. At least the scientist of TODAY can not send the man beyond solar system

We don't master such technology yet.
Frozen water contained in our cells will damage them, although there are some small animals that can survive because they have developed a kind of anti-freeze in their blood.
In any case, why thinking of explorations outside our galaxy when even the closest stars in our galaxy are more than 5 light years away?
Chances are that when the explorers eventually manage to return, our planet will no longer exist!

Only in the movies , cryogenics have not been perfected in the real world , yet !!

May be possible. But it is a meaningless discussion unless a mode of travel faster than light is discovered and tried out. Getting to the edge of hte galaxy might take something like 500 light years. Imagine producing 15-20 generations in the module. i cant imagine a way to do it. And dating and all...........

maybe one day but cryo now sucks.
Plus we need a way to sustain power for that long journey.
currently scientists are looking at harnessing the massive power in plasma with magnetics for deep space travel. For propulsion, planetary sling shotting works very nicely.

Not possible for the next 50 years.
Cannot predict science beyond that!

not in our life time,if ever,people arnt made to freeze,blood cells pop,it just doesnt work,you can freeze a frog and it will come back to life,for real
