But look at the technology they have (eg. replacement limbs), that
most of the population isn't actually fighting and the outlying planets
didn't look poor so much as rural.
I mean the world is pretty screwed up now and (in the USA) the life
expectancy is ~74. So I'm going to go with 90-100yrs old.
Mind you, you almost never see any old people in LoGH :)
