As far as I'm concerned, I think scientists should focus on other more important projects. Personally, I'm all for augmenting the body, ala Halo. That seems to be a bit more feasible than living to 1000, no? Besides, as Puck said, the planet really isn't meant for beings that have such long lives. The only way this could be feasible is if it were used for space travel/interstellar colonization.
