   Thanks for the suggestions.   
      
   If lifespan is not limited to 300 then we will soon need a way   
   of transporting large numbers of people to Earthlike planets   
   in the near region of the galaxy. I have some manic   
   physics clues from years ago that may be of help with   
   that. Or if there are indeed aliens here on Earth they   
   may be willing to share their technology.
