However, if you are in-silicon, there is no need to actually have your
brain and body in the same place, since you can relay sensory/motor
signals over the air.  Besides if you were going to plan on living for X
million years would you do something as silly as throw yourself in a
vehicle and climb up a mountain risking death? 

Also, as for a space station being expensive, sure it is for one person,
but not for millions.
