Welcome to Camp Afternoonified: Space Camp! Our first venture into deep recesses of the unknown is going to be a collection of stories about the brave animals who got shot into space before us.

It's all lab coats and frozen dead guys this week on Afternoonified as we explore the world of cryonics! We'll get into how nature has figured out it's own freezing and unfreezing processes and how humans have adapted that for their own purposes. There's also a handy guide on what to expect when you've mostly died and want to be put into cryonic suspension to be revived in a couple hundred years (probably)!
