I already hate it. I just do not like inserting anachronistic technology into the early 20th and period comic book spaceships. The older I get, the harder it is to suspend disbelief. Apollo 18 is my idea of historical sci-fi. Buck Rogers has to have a believable back story. There was no way to induce any kind of suspended animation back at the beginning of the 20th, and producing a rocket-plane before WWII just wasn't done, especially in the USA. It sounds like "The World of Tomorrow."
If you want a descent Buck Rogers, the back story could, at the earliest, start with some secret project in the 1960's, with some poor test pilot voluntering for a suspended animation experiment that went wrong and was covered up.
