Michael Sloan MacLeod and Paul F. Dietz have been discussing humans going into
space for several posting.  I find it amusing that neither of them expects to
actually go into space.  *I* (at 47) expect not only to go into space, but to
travel to the stars.  True, this will take more than a standard lifetime, but
so what?  Progress (much of it being made within 50 miles of where I live) in
the fabrication of ever smaller computers parts will take only a few decades
to reach the size scale where molecular repairs can be made to human cells.
There is no reason those who make it to that time should *ever* have to die,
and the same technology will reduce the cost of just about everthing to that
of firewood (grow your own spaceship).  Anybody want to join in planning a 
party on the far side of the galaxy?  H. Keith Henson, a Founder of L5
