There needs to be three teams working on three different things.
1- Unlocking the secret to immortality. This includes stopping aging, cloning yourself so if you are killed or your body is damaged your last mental backup can be transferred to the clone.
2- Developing faster than light travel so all these immortal people will have somewhere to live. We could populate the galaxy.
3- Developing an endless energy source that costs nothing to maintain.
