Nice. Saw the presentation of the project this May at the Suspended Animation conference, been wondering where they're building it.

The project apparently aims at three goals: 1) centralized storage of patients, 2) centralized research labs, 3) showing off.

Goal 3 seems dominant, those guys think that "cryonics with class" can attract more wealthy people with more resources that can go into the development of revival technology. But they do want to build some labs there, too. Oh yes, and the main person behind this project is Saul Kent.

Interesting! Thanks for the background!

(I also notice from your username and recent post to the Houston mailing list that you attended the recent Houston meetup. I wasn't there, as I still live far away. And yes, Cog, I'll post my intro there soon.)
