How long do you want to live?

Hi,

Jumping in.  Perhaps the undying lands for us will be the colonization of new planets.  If we can solve the dying problem, then a few thousand years in "hibernation" would not be that daunting.  Leave Earth for the youngsters under 100 years old, then prepare to go a viking across the galaxy.

Good thought. The radiation problem is still severe and gets moreso with increased speed. Still, the relativistic effects makes the journey of resonable duration in the time frame of the 'vikings'. Will people with an infinite lifespan, barring accidents, be willing to risk themselves?

The present -- that moment in time which seperates speculation from history :)
