Interesting. Appears that we'll sooner solve ageing than ageing of societies.

If this ever goes mainstream, I'll head off to live on Mars - provided that is solved beforehand.

I hope you're ready to worship or be of direct service to the capricious god-emporor of Mars, in exchange for your daily 500l oxygen supply, and 2000 calories.

We're nowhere close to solving aging. We don't even understand aging and understanding the problem should be much easier than solving it.

A lot of things in science/technology have been invented essentially by accident though, with little to no understanding of why it worked. Who’s to say aging can’t be similar.
