Living For 1000 Years

[poliphilo]

Chap on TV was saying he knows how to reverse the ageing process. He reckons we'll have it cracked by the middle of the century. After that we'll have the option (not everyone will take it) of living for a thousand years.

Are we ready for this?

Apparently there's no gene for ageing. The problem is that our cells simply accumulate damage faster than they can repair themselves. If that ratio can be reversed, we've got it sorted.

Yeah, I think serious space exploration would be the logical next step. With astronauts who can live 1000 years the prime objection to going to the stars (that it would take so long) is removed.

Oh, yeah!

I'll go to the stars!
