We will be their ancestors, regardless of the wars that happen between now and then.

If we’re lucky, our combined conscious (i.e. knowledge, society, morals, etc.) will live on indefinitely throughout the stars.

If we’re extra lucky, some of us may even get the chance to transition our meat brains to longer a lived devices.

That sounds great until you hear, "Okay the brain upload was successful. Now if you could just step into this chamber here..."

But what if you'd be resurrected as something like a Cylon Raider, free to roam the cosmos, expieriencing it in full spectrum? Or like Caprica Six, having her cybernetic Kundalini-Chacra so carefully calibrated...

Except after the scan is complete you are not resurrected. Your digital copy is, while the meat version of you gets turned into a couple pounds of fertilizer.
