hi that's not a cryopod that's an acceleration tank which Doc Smith was talking about no later than Triplanetary (1934) thankshttps://twitter.com/memizon/status/1066822282989969408 …

Remember the cryo pods in Alien (1979), Aliens (1986), Event Horizon (1997), Avatar (2009), Passengers (2016)? A Russian SF film from the 1930's introduced the idea. In Cosmic Voyage (1936) cosmonauts 'immerse themselves in special baths to avoid fatal jolts from the blast off'. pic.twitter.com/41A5M2w2yv
