Even if resources weren't an issue, there's just so much to do, really. I'm raising my kids, and eventually they'll probably have kids, and I'll be a grandpa, and that will be new. And when they have kids, it'll probably still be a kick. But beyond watching them grow up, it seems like it is going to get mighty boring and repetitive - especially since people really only have so much time for so many people in their lives. And I've heard a lot of people say, "What about seeing the Wonders of the World?" or some such. I've gotta tell you, I've seen a lot of stuff like that already - neat enough, but eh.I have no plans to cause this to happen by any means, but I think that I would like very much for my wife and I to kick off together, on Sept. 4th, 2053 - we'd get to celebrate our 61st wedding anniversary a few months before, and go out on the 62nd anniversary of the day we met. Generationally, that would probably put our great-grandkids old enough to handle it, emotionally, and our great-greats unborn or too little to know anything happened. And it is well away in the year from my kids' birthdays - I wouldn't want them to get bummed every year afterward because we died on their birthday or something. I hope none of the grandkids are born on Sept. 4th.I'd be 78 and she 77. Not a bad run. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> Unfortunately, there's very little control over these things. I'll probably get hit by a bus tomorrow. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />P.S. to Josh: Who says we don't have a lunar colony? And heck, maybe it'll even be declassified where you can know about it before we die of old age. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
