Can We Cure Aging In Time To Save Your Life?

The ultimate goal of The Life Extension Foundation is to gain total control over aging and death. A few years ago, Foundation President Saul Kent set the year 2020 as a key milestone in this quest. Saul Kent will be 80 years old in 2020. He would like to develop scientific methods to conquer aging and death before then. Five months ago, Saul Kent started devoting all his time to the research necessary to achieve this goal. He now works full time on research projects designed to extend the human life span radically.

Kent's newest project is quite impressive... $180,000,000.00 Cryonics Facility

The design of the Timeship Building, a six-acre structure that will be the world's largest facility for life extension research and for the cryopreservation of DNA, biological tissues, and over 10,000 human patients, has been completed by architect Stephen Valentine with both its functional and its symbolic importance in mind.

I'm curious if any progress has been made on this idea since the art show. Has it ever been explained where the $180,000,000 was going to come from?

I am curious as well. It seemed like an ambitious project when it started, but it seems to have fizzled.

Publicity comes and goes in waves, but there is still full-time work happening on a small scale. As it stands, I would consider it to be a long term project dependent on many contingencies.
