In vivo patching, especially with only slightly externally augmented 
onboard means is extremely difficult. I'm not sure it can be at all done.

I think the limit for that -- within what is left of our lifetime --
is maybe 20, 30 years in the best case. And I wouldn't count on it.

Will 20-30 years make a difference? Probably not.

So your only way to the future would be through the liquid nitrogen
dewar.
