Oh my! Each will want what the other does not have. Eternal life, exquisite animal needs, some of both but no mastery of either. Therefore, as I commanded [by Your command], we should strive for extending the life of the flesh and keep death, build eternal machines, and provide interfaces for both. It should be possible to upload the mind of the animal to the machine, and download the mind of the machine to the animal, and then we [child of Adam, child of Eve, child of both] will be mobile. That is, a life as long as we choose, and death when we need it [given, or freely chosen].
But that's way on the horizon, and doesn't even bear thinking about. What's more important is to establish more than one accessible information network; one for everyday use, and at least one in case the primary one goes wrong. Green houses in places of the sun, where otherwise useless. Roads in every climate. Keep the Amazon river basin chaste, but build roads there anyway. Roads around the mountains, lakes, are the alternate, though less efficient means of land access. We build the cable ferries for speed. Trains are outdated technology, analogous to wired phone systems. Satellites work as well in moon orbit and are less intrusive than when in Earth orbit. We should strive to keep pollution at a minimum. The moon is our desert; that's why we have Australia. I think there's a purpose for having desert areas on our Earth, go figure it out.
