This part sounds really awesome/nuts:
"Alam has experimented on eight-stone Yorkshire pigs, stopping the heart and electrical activity in the brain for up to two hours before slowly replacing the plasma with warm blood and reviving the animals with no apparent long-term effects."

Yeah space travel.....we haven't gone back to the moon in almost 40 yrs, and ya don't even have to be in suspended animation for that....this will come in real handy.
