The problem with this, is catapulting agents into the past. Changing history.

Cryosleep means no temporal paradoxes to get around.
No it is more like you are put in a bubble that is out of time. Time continues to move around you, but passes much more slowly inside the bubble. This actually gets me past the spoilage of equipment problem as well.

Unfortunately the equipment was not fully tested underground and the additional mass, due to the dirt, led to the bubbles having unplanned inertia. The teams shoot past their desired wakeup date. The smaller teams with the smallest bubbles "wake up" first. Prime Base due to it massive size and inertia may not wake for additional centuries.
