Your scientific criticisms could be applied to almost every
philosopher that ever lived.  :)
Philosophers tend to not be much bothered about the "How" of
implementing their utopian ideas.

Fedorov (1829-1903) is regarded as an early transhumanist philosopher.
But even supporters of Fedorov admit that his thoughts about
resurrecting all the dead are probably impossible fantasy.
