33. In human form?
I doubt it. Radiation, travel time and food/water sources are formidable problems.

However, just before I die I plan to have my consciousness and the entire knowledge of the human race (especially including all the Travis McGee novels) downloaded into a hardened computer about the size of a shoebox (a very likely possibility in 40 to 50 years, assuming I quit smoking) and launched at some leisurely speed like 5.376e-6 C towards the Galactic center.

I'll drift along, going to 'sleep' for thousands of years at a time, wake up, experience steak dinners and fine concerts, look around, check the recordings from Earth and the sensors, send emails, and arrive, sooner or later, to take a ride on the Galactic Black Hole rollercoaster.
