As mentioned in previous posts, Alcor's office is getting a full makeover. While we dust off the facility's history, we've found a lot of neat relics and decor along the way.

The framed quote by the inventor of the first liquid-fueled rocket, Robert H. Goddard, felt especially apt.

Meet Kaiya and Alyssa, Alcor's newest two membership coordinators.

Construction for our facility refresh has pushed most of the staff into makeshift offices, so Kaiya and Alyssa have been learning the ropes from Diane in the middle of it all. They've been picking things up fast and having fun along the way. Before long, they'll be among the voices on the other end when you reach out to Alcor.

A new door is opening at Alcor.

This year has brought significant change - with much more in the works. As we head towards our upcoming Annual Strategic Meeting on Sept 5th, we're reshaping our facility so that the space begins to reflect the progress already happening from within.

Stay tuned.

Alcor's engineers pulling thick strands of fog from a giant liquid nitrogen dewar with a gravity siphon pipe, while transferring a neuropod into long-term storage.

As soon as the massive cork is removed, warm room air rushes in and instantly condenses into dense fog when it hits the ultra-cold nitrogen vapors rising from the surface. On humid monsoon days in Arizona, it gets so thick you can barely see inside.

Clearing the fog is critical. The team needs clear visibility to carefully slide the new neuropod into its tight spot among the others.

Take a look at this vintage pamphlet on cryonics from the early days of Alcor. Notice those two stars hanging above the tree?

Alcor founders Linda and Fred Chamberlain believed humanity would one day travel to the stars, and while searching star catalogs for a fitting name, they chose Alcor, a dim companion star to the bright Mizar star, which was long used as a test of keen eyesight. The idea was that if you can see Alcor's purpose, you have excellent "vision."

Do you have the "vision" to see your future among the stars? ⭐

Roman, one of Alcor's newest engineering interns, designing and fabricating a stabilizing bracket for the dewars.

During cooldowns, the internal fans in the dewar tops can generate vibrations. To address this, Roman developed a custom bracket coupling different structural elements of the dewar to dampen this effect.
