You DON'T want a structurally weakened space elevator after 200 years.

Assuming this isn't a troll...
The stars you see at night are other suns, trillions of miles away. One lightyear is the distance that light travels in one year, about 5.88 trillion miles. The nearest star is Alpha Centauri (or Proxima Centauri?) and it is 4.3 light years away. The stars you see with the naked eye can be anywhere from 4.3 to thousands of lightyears away. A few of the 'stars' you may see might actually be entire galaxies, but you can't really make it out. Our own galaxy has over 100 billion stars, and measures 100,000ly across.

100 billion suns in our galaxy
100 billion galaxies in the OBSERVABLE universe with up to a TRILLION stars
8 billion years available for life to evolve

How about naw.

First thing I do with transhumanism: Get the ability to slow down my time perception to whatever I want, and zoom, and exposure.

Then I will go out into the middle of the country, set up camp, and stay awake for 1 minute from my perception watching as the Milky Way turns overhead.

I want to go to the other side of the Milky Way.

At least one hundred billion stars in the Milky Way. Up to a trillion stars in galaxies such as IC 1101 and elliptical galaxies. Over 50,000,000 galaxies. In the OBSERVABLE universe.

Let that sink in for a moment.

The Earth isn't -273C because of solar power. Just sayin'
