About this episode
The episode explores a story about a hero-scientist who devises a method for preserving his body in space, inspired by the preservation of ancient mammoths in Siberian ice.
The mammoths of the ancient world have been wonderfully preserved in the ice of Siberia. The cold, only a few miles out in space, will be far more intense than in the polar regions and its power of preserving the dead body would most probably be correspondingly increased. When the hero-scientist of this story knew he must die, he conceived a brilliant idea for the preservation of his body, the result of which even exceeded his expectations. What, how, and why are cleverly told here. " The Jameson Satellite " by Neil R.
