What If You Stopped Aging at 30? Halley's Comet to the Sun's Death

What if you can never die? On your 30th birthday your body stops aging. You can still get hurt, you just can't be ended. So you stay and watch: your friends, Halley's Comet, a new North Star, Voyager 1, a star passing through the Oort cloud, a moon breaking into a ring, Saturn losing its rings, the last total eclipse, the air running out and the Sun swelling into a red giant. The readout in the corner counts the years from today. Every date comes from NASA or a peer-reviewed paper, rounded the way the source rounds it. 0:00 Your 30th birthday 0:38 Halley's Comet, 2061 1:14 The oldest person ever 1:50 A new North Star 2:26 Voyager 1 3:02 Gliese 710 3:38 Phobos breaks up 4:14 Saturn loses its rings 4:50 The last total eclipse 5:26 The air runs out 6:02 The red giant 6:38 Would you take the deal?
