escape velocity in this context means that you stay at least one step ahead of dying, through medical advances, to the point that the first immortal human (at least one who will not die of old age) may have already been born.

Not dying of old age was always very easy.
Some even say dying of old age is impossible (because people don't actually die from old age as cause)

Pedantry is the cure for dying of old age

believe it or not some would say accepting that people die of cancer or heart attacks rather than "old age" is actually key to tackling longevity :)

it was a catch-all phrase, you muppet. we do know "old age" isn't a real disease, we do know about immortal jellyfish. we do know about strategies for engineered negligible senescence. it's not the gotcha you think you had.
