I really enjoyed the article and the look into the future. It is still yet to be found if there's a spark of life in us or not.

I found the article great in that it articulates thoughts I have had over the years.

Since the article was written, bowhead whales have been discovered to live 200 years, making them the longest-lived mammals.

Upvote because that is a neat line and I laughed! :)

Also comes with a solution for the AI threat. Ship all AI computers to Mars and let then colonize it! Organic life seems useless to AI, it is a easier path to grow on a dead planet, with no atmosphere to filter sun energy.

sama can relax now, we just solved the AI threat problem. :)

Any AI that can survive Martian conditions can survive interstellar travel.
