"Escape or avert the collapse/heat death of the universe" is probably the last goal. Or, at least, deciding if you want to. Death isn't bad, necessarily.
Like, if we survive long enough we're gonna run out of things to do. I mean, we'll still have chess, but you might as well explore the possibility of beating entropy or finding out if there is an "outside" beyond the universe.
Back during the Reagan administration the Secretary of the interior supposedly said on teh record that global warming wasn't real because god wouldn't let that happen.
In a reasonable country we would look at that, realize this person is incapable of rational thought, and immediately roll back every single decision they've made.
It's fun to think about, but as for the sun burning out I'll start taking that threat seriously when it's within 5k years of actually happening.
