See, this is why I would love immortality. All the people afraid of it are just not thinking about the upside, just the floating in space bit.

Which sounds fine to me, btw, humans can get used to anything. I'm a lot more worried about dying in a few decades from now than I'd be about being launched into space by an asteroid impact who knows how long from now, or imprisoned in a mountain.

Erosion, mate. I'll be out in a jiffy.
