'Realistically':
- Industrial electrical engineer for Aussie mining industry for rapid accumulation of wealth
- Move to Canada
- Learn aerospace engineering and nuclear engineering, preferably masters in both
- Attempt to write novels, hopefully they become hot sellers
- Attempt to create documentary series, hopefully channel Lord Sagan
- Obtain some form of life extension

Hopefully:
- All of the above
- Start either asteroid mining company, aerospace company, space-based solar company, LFTR company, algae biofuels company, or vertical farming company (in a joint venture with LFTR or SBS)
- Become very wealthy
- Fuck around politics with influential lobbyists for the promotion of sciences and space, especially new inventions or proposals that could be huge (such as the LFTR today)
- Replace left arm with a equal or outperforming robotic arm by 2035
- Maybe, just maybe set forth the Technocratic Republic of Sci in motion. But Tasmania is looking less like a viable candidate, I'm considering MASSIVE geodesic domes in Western Antarctica that can be climate controlled.
- Cure for aging/minor transhumanism
- Move to Mars, specifically Tharsis Tholus.
- Be part of the terraforming team for Mars
- Sit around in hashish bars in 2611AD enjoying a chat with a friend until someone notices I'm a historical figure

I mean, imagine meeting Newton in a bar because of him getting life extension.

A man can dream...
