Storing people in space

+0
−0

In the future, personal Cryonics (in the hope of cure or immortality on re-awakening)) have become enormously popular. However there is a storage problem. There just isn't enough space for all the bodies. Also the equipment that keeps them cool itself generates heat and requires enormous amounts of electricity.

We really need unlimited storage in a constant low-temperature. It would seem that space is the ideal environment.

The question is, with early 21st century-type technology, where can we safely and economically store the customers?

(a) In orbit around Earth

(b) In orbit around the Moon

(c) On the Moon

(d) In orbit around another planet

(e) In Sun orbit

(f) Somewhere else

It is enormously expensive to ship them to the outer reaches of the solar system and bringing them back is worse. Placing them on the Moon has the obvious problem of alternate heating and cooling.

Where in space should the customers be stored?
