Re: Semi-OT: We will go to Stars.
(DISCLAIMER: the following is based on a purely non-religious viewpoint which the author does not necessarily share.)
Humans are actually one of the worst designed possibilities. They are something like 95% water with a small amount of minerals holding together like a SLIGHTLY less jelly-like Version of some big blob amoeba. Our aging process which we are talking about here is actually oxidation of the iron in our bodies caused by the oxygen we breath.
The chance that some other planet will randomly develop along a long line of forking possibilities to end up as a life form whose requirements are its demise would seem slim.
(on the other hand the new quantum threories bring up some interesting space-drive story plots)
