Does humanity’s cryo-sleep technology allow one to stay alive indefinitely? For example, could Master Chief have stayed alive in cryo-sleep aboard the Forward Unto Dawn for, say, hundreds of years?
It’s not infinite, but as long as there’s a working power supply, he could have survived for a very long time.
So long as you have a working power supply and it can sustain power to the cryo-tube, yes, you can keep someone on ice and alive indefinitely.
Theoretically, if the power supply was uninterrupted, chief could have survived almost indefinitely. Everything is finite.
This can also be observed in the new(ish) Star Trek movie. Cumberbatch and his crew survived, because the cryotubes were hooked up to an old ship.
I wouldn’t use ‘indefinitely’. Cryosleep slows the aging process, not halts it.
Was thinking what scalemaster said. The human body needs nutrients/water eventually, regardless of cryo. Use the batroom too lol

Indeed. That’s why I said almost.
That said, a waste dispersal unit in the suit would be nice for bathrooms breaks in the battlefield.

The MJOLNIR already has that. At least, Mk. VII does.

Well bathroom wouldn’t apply considering you aren’t taking in any more nutrients for your body to process.
