Apart from the fact that everyone you know is now dead and if you returned home you'd basically be a living caveman museum piece.

But one-way trips have been proposed for planetary colonization as well, and there are a lot of people that would be willing to make that trip.
We don’t even have broad agreement on what a mind is beyond the the everyday folk notion. What are we to copy?
Importantly, how many memories do you think can fit into a human brain? If a 1,000 year old man cannot remember all of his life, has aging been solved?
Maybe the details just get spottier with bigger gaps, but you still remember the big events and when you need more details your Google neural implant tells you more. I'm far from 1,000 but I can't remember every detail of my life, but I don't think it interferes with my quality of life.
But I’m not convinced that somehow expanding brain sizes to accommodate immortality means we have solved aging for humans.
