It happens in Star Trek. They find a 1980s style businessman on board, who is apopleptic to learn that humanity doesn't care about investment portfolios anymore.
The Neutral Zone (the episode in question) has people that died and then were frozen to try and revive later. The space capsule was in orbit above a planet not en route to another planet. Not exactly the same situation.
