There are those who believe that somewhere in the vast blackness of space, about nine billion miles from the Sun, the first human is about to cross the boundary of our Solar System into interstellar space. His body, perfectly preserved, is frozen at –270 degrees C (–454ºF); his tiny capsule has been silently sailing away from the Earth at 18,000 mph (29,000km/h) for the last 45 years. He is the original lost cosmonaut, whose rocket went up and, instead of coming back down, just kept on going.

That is one helluva zot.

“That is one helluva zot.”

Someone needs to buy Gore a trip like that!

One way trip to space at 0 kelvin or better yet straight to the sun!

Actually he is not zotted, if I understand zot in the way the BC comic strip originally intended, and is used here, as in Viking Kitty electrocutions.

If he is at near absolute zero, isn’t he more than cyrogenically preserved?

In a few billion years he may be intercepted and revived.

At least he stands a better chance of a second mortal life than I do.
