I see no reason, why uploading would be impossible. As I see no reason, why interstellar traveling would be impossible.
I have no idea how to actually do both, but that's another matter.
If the naturalistic view is valid, it is difficult to see a reason why those two would be impossible. But if the Universe is a magic place, then of course. It's possible that they are both impossible due to some spell of a witch, or something.
Still, I do assign a small probability to the possibility, that the consciousnesses is something not entirely computable and therefor not executable on some model of a Turing machine. But then again, the probability for this I see quite negligible.
Does it matter what consciousness is made out of for mind uploading to be possible?
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
