  1. We may not be able to freeze humans, but we can freeze human embryos, we may not be able to travel faster as the speed of light, but we may travel at 1% of the speed of light, also artificial life support systems may be integrated to a ship to raise the human embryos once the ship reaches the destination, with the advances in Ai we could create a smart system.

  2. Space cant have a smell. It smells like whoever is smelling it because your smelling yourself. Space has no oxygen and is missing half the chemicals that activate smell.

    Just like if we went to a different planet, say Mars, everything would amell wholly dofferent than on earth. And thats cuz Mars barely has anything keeping space at bay, so most its chemicals are so thin or missing the smell would be different.

    TL;DR: Dude smelled himself, and smells so manly he smells of steak.
