    Sleep in Stasis or held in transport beam?

    If you had to say live 1,000 yrs for a reason, would you prefer to be placed in Stasis,

    Or stored permantly as data then rematerlized using say Asgard beaming technology?

    I only ask since Auroa, they slept in Stasis.

    hmm, atleast being stored as data, you will never get old, when you are rematerialised, you're the same as when you first went in.

        The main issue I have with being stored as “data” is what happens if the power fails? Over a couple thousand years anything could happen… At least in stasis you’d have a body to go back to…

          But your data can be backed up, wait you could be copied multiple time
          I wouldnt worry bout power problems thats ok, but what if the storage device thats storing ya gets damaged

            How much would you age in 1,000 years, like 10 years? Hm... still a hard choice. I guess the question is how reliable is the rematerializing device?

              I'd trust the asgard with my life, if it where of ancient design i'd trust them with more than my life, if it were of goa'uld design i'd trust them with everyone on GW
              Thank God its only a show and i dont have to make that decision or is it just a show?!?!?!

                well theres problems for both that arise

                stasis: well, you still age, just slowly
                and what if something happens, could be killed

                beam: power, what could last for 1000's of years?, certainly no AA batteries i tell you
                then theres the fact of data decay, what if the data is corrupted, like what was supposed to be with teal'c on 48 hours

                IMO, i would choose beam, at least that way i wont age, and it will seem instantaneous

                  Tough call, but I think I would choose statis. I would be too concerned with all the things that could go wrong with being stored as data...degredation, power loss, destruction, who would find that data and what they would do with it, etc.

                    I never could be place in stasis or held in transport beam!
                    It's horrible! You in life but you don't live!

                    But if i had to choose I choose be placed in stasis because held in transport beam is inaccceptable! To exist only like a data!

                      I'd choose the transporter beam. you can have multiple redudancies, back-up systems and power back-ups. Plus, data itself doesn't really age. Just the media it's stored on ages. Although it would be weird to emerge 1,000 years later in a such a different world.

                        Just plase don't store me on magnetic storage. You end up being stored on some 20 year old cassette tape that they managed to find behind a sofa somewhere

                          Given the time limit set in the original question (only 1,000 years) and what we know about Ancient stasis technology, I'd probably go with the sleep. If it were for a period of time more than two or three thousand years, though, being stored in some kind of pattern buffer would look a bit more attractive due to the lack of aging that would occur. I'd venture to guess that it would be like being stored “in the Gate” like Teal'c in Season Five's “48 Hours.” Carter theorized that, without the activation of the wormhole, the crystals would hold the pattern indefinitely. It would seem like an instantaneous transport... Nifty.

                            I'd say beam.

                            You go in, and seemed instantanious you come out a thousand years later!

                              Sleep in stasis. Remember Weir was in there for 10,000 years so I don't think only 1,000 years would be that bad.
