You  and Anders have made an incorrect assumption.  (But, thank you
Anders, for answering anyway.)

Grandpa is already out there.

The scenario is that humans have settled in the Kuiper belt and then in the
Oort cloud. Where the "outside" temperature is colder — or much colder —
than LN. Plus cosmic rays, dust impacts, isolation, etc.

Perhaps your grandkids never liked you anyway, and would just as soon
recycle you in the CELSS. Mine are sentimental, or won't get anything in
my will unless I'm preserved.

Hence: Given the ambient conditions in the Kuiper belt and the Oort cloud,
how am I suspended and how am I stored?
