To be the first (Mitchell)

It would take tremendous energy to be the first person not to die, the first person to live forever, simply because no one had ever done this before. If no one thinks it is possible, then no one is going to try to figure out how to put eternity together like an airplane or a submarine or a rocket. Doing it the first time without a plan, without any manual of instructions would be the hardest, but after a while, it would get easier.
