the problem i see is that it's a trust based system and you are trusting people selling an afterlife. that doesn't bring us much further than religious belief in life after death.

a quasi religious custodian would be optimal

I love this opening:

You’re on an airplane when you hear a loud sound and things start violently shaking. A minute later, the captain comes on the speaker and says:

There’s been an explosion in the engine, and the plane is going to crash in 15 minutes. There’s no chance of survival. There is a potential way out—the plane happens to be transferring a shipment of parachutes, and anyone who would like to use one to escape the plane may do so. But I must warn you—the parachutes are experimental and completely untested, with no guarantee to work. We also have no idea what the terrain will be like down below. Please line up in the aisle if you’d like a parachute, and the flight attendants will give you one, show you how to use it and usher you to the emergency exit where you can jump. Those who choose not to take that option, please remain in your seat—this will be over soon, and you will feel no pain.

What would you do?

I wonder if you’re allowed to board a commercial plane wearing a parachute. ‘The parachute and a mask’

I’m just covering all angles. ;)

Here's a parachute that definitely doesn't work. They cost you all the money you intended to pass on, then will probably go on to cost your offspring.

We'll try our best come up with a method to make it work before you hit the ground.

Form an orderly queue.

if it's a future without the small minded ill take any chance they give me

No doubt you’re right Doc.
All of histories great and revolutionary thinkers faced with the moment of ultimate transcendence would choose the same: hiding in a freezer clinging desperately to their privilege.

I’d rather see what’s next than be consigned to eternity on a planetary corpse with the people who killed it.

I'm going into space when I die :)

Seems you're off to a great start :)

relax youre around for several more series

No way, decaying in the ground is what the elders tell us!

Howd that one work out for ya elders?
