You think those are similar? We could do a Mars trip today with enough money. Every bit of money in the entire world would still not get you cryogenics - it requires a new idea that doesn't exist right now.

That is arguable, we have the freezing people but going. Sure it is being done in a very destructive way to the human body, it is a bet though that at some point in the distant future technology will get good enough that the current freezing method could be reversed.

There are animals that are naturally capable of freezing and thawing. We don't have to invent the process, we only need to adapt it. I bet it would be cheaper than a Mars trip.
