I honestly believe, with due diligence, we can live to that age and beyond |

"Who would want to, let's be honest"
Mate I fully believe, within the next few decades, we are on the age of space exploration. James Webb will tells us loads about our universe and Elin Musk with Mars etc |

I agree the future will be futuristic, unless mother nature thinks differently of course.
150 years ago people thought the same about nowadays I'd imagine

Exploring and colonising are two entirely different things.

"I think it's quite feasible, but whether people would want to is another thing."
And whether we could afford to, imagine how much everything will cost in another 100 years  |

"They've completed the human genome nap now so I think there will be a big leap in medical understanding and discovery in the next couple of decades so who knows."
Aye but can stop our skin going all wrinkiky and saggy? |

Most data purporting to support such "130 years"+ lifespans is based on increases in average human lifespans rather than increases in absolute human lifespans.
The longest confirmed human lifespan was 122 years; a French supercentenarian who died in 1997. If the belief that absolute life expectancy always increases with average life expectancy was true someone living today should already be beating that record after 25 years.
It seems that even with perfect genetics, a perfect lifestyle, perfect luck etc. human lifespans are limited to an absolute maximum of 125-130 years. And even then, lifespans of over 100 years will always be exceptionally rare statistically. |

I have been on the receiving end of Medical Advances for a few years and have so far made it to 82 yrs. I think 85 will be top whack for me.
Can't see 150 years as being a realistic figure. |

Humans may, theoretically, be capable of living longer but I doubt if they will be given the chance. One thing is however for certain, they will keep breeding so the world population will increase.
Despite their increasing numbers, climate change will not be stopped as those who run the world and their political sponsors are old and will die naturally before Armagedden; so in reality they do not really care about the future.
As the effects of climate change bites the habital areas of the world will decrease. The young will turn on the old, who no longer contribute to society, and practice euthanasia on an industrial scale. Loss of viable land will however promote mass migration on an unprecedented scale.
Those who still have habital lands will inevitably defend them from the migrants. These migrants will not however be the poor wandering folk on foot with their belongings in a Tesco bag. They will be armies, so war will ensue.
As the defenders start to lose, because they will be vastly outnumbered by desperate people who face certain death back in their own country, they will turn to WMDs. The response will be the same and the final days of the human race will have started.
Nuclear, biological and chemical weapon fallout will circle the globe in weeks and humanity will bequeath the world to the cockroaches and tardigrades.
A few thousand years after the demise of humanity there will be little sign they ever existed. The world will have settled back to a balanced environment and the struggle to be apex predator will be in full swing.
So a 150 years life span? Maybe in theory; but no one will die of natural causes any more. |

All the hip replacements. It’ll be like having sex with a transformer. |

Yeah. I'm thinking two generations below me, life expectancy will probably be closer to 50 than 150. |

Space colonisation will end up being very Snowpiercer like in terms of population and crew. |

"It would need a total revolution. to have the value of all people established as important, with redistribution of wealth and assets. "
I read that it all the cash wealth was distributed equally then every person in the world would get 33000 dollars. In a year or so there would people skint and multi millionaires...

But would that mean Club 18-30 became Club 18-50 and Saga only started bombarding you with junk mail when you turned 80?
Every cloud......

That can't possible be right. Elon musk alone could give everyone 10s of millions each and still be one of the wealthiest people in the world |

Musk's net worth (according to google) is around $276 bn and isn't all cash.
The global population (again according to google) is 7.9 bn
That gives everyone in the world about $34.94
