Last Space Shuttle Launch live stream

I seriously doubt any of us will be alive to see people living in a mars base though.

A few scientists have already stated that the first person that will live a thousand years has already been born. You should read up on that substance they found in some sea creature (some sort of anemone?) that lives 5 hours but has a gene that allows it to rebirth right afterwards. They used it on a mouse already and it worked; like, it completely reverted an aged mouse back to youth, even physically, its organs were literally like new. One of the only issues with it currently is that it also resets brain function, so all memory and learned behavior is wiped, the biggest issue being it -can- cause cancer to develop under certain conditions. The chemical is called Telomerase.

I finally got around to watching this. It looked awesome!!!

but then I saw comments along the lines of "funding to NASA should be cut, it's not helping in repairing the debt." and realized why I never look at comments in youtube anymore.

Buddy, telomerase is not new.

Of course it's not new, it exists in all creatures to some extent and has for millions of years. I didn't say anywhere that it was "new", not even simply our knowledge of it; he said that he doubted anyone would live that long, and I gave an example why it could feasibly happen.
