I don't get the reference
 
There are a lot of moral and philosophical issues with the idea of living a hugely extended lifespan, and I will be happy to consider them for as many centuries as it takes.
 
Assuming I remain lucid and maintain most of my intelligence, I'd like to live into my 90s. However, given my family history of heart problems, a few relatives have had some form of cancer (none serious yet), and that I've already had issues with hypertension and high cholesterol at age 35, I'll be surprised if I live past 70.
 
I`d like to see a Mars landing,some clear pictures of exoplanets,maybe fusion or accessible space travel,most of the world being in the developed category,etc.

Well, with good health the next millennium. But I would like to see the tricentennial.

I didn't party hard enough on new years 1999.
 
I want to see my kids grow up and have babies of their own.
That ensures my place in history was a success.

55 at the latest. I'm already almost ten years older than I expected to last, so 55 would be the max I would want.

WTF KT?!?!?!?!

I want to live as long as I'm physically and mentally able to enjoy travel and most activities. My mom is 68 and is pretty much bedridden and I've already told my wife that if I ever end up in a similar situation, I'd want to end it.

Unfortunately, in my family, the men die young -- my oldest grandfather died at 66. So, in reality, I probably only have 20-25 years left since I'm approaching mid-40s.
 
Up to around the time when America, and it's economy collapse, or nuclear war. So about 10, or 20 years. (I will be around 80 then)

Five hundred years. One would die of boredom and monotony much earlier than that
