These guys are trying to build an interstellar "lifeboat" to "save" humanity from Singularity. They also say it might come in handy in case of the worst happening, for instance, "The Infinite Gray Goo Incident" is a good example of a catastrophe that would neccessitate the production of an interstellar lifeboat, as the entire Earth would be converted into a giant gray blob of pico and femtomachines.
Do you think this is feasible within our lifetime? Surely some chance of surviving the Infinite Gray Goo Incident is a good thing, and considering humanity's excellent record at being able to contain accidents (Chernobyl), it's probably not a bad idea.
But, escaping Singularity? You could no more escape Singularity than you could escape your own left foot! Really!
Perhaps these people do not truly understand the portent of Singularity.
