Not necessarily.

If we had anti-iron we could simply put it  in a magnetic vacuum chamber.

anti aluminum would work, but you have to spin it to make it magnetic. its also easier to make in your anti fusion reactor.

Really?

Why is anti-alluminum better than anti-iron (besides being easier to say)?

Still insisting on the anti-uranium.

Yes, it's more hard to produce it than the anti-iron, but once we can, we can build antinuclear fission reactors, or antinuclear salt-water drives.

Also, it's dense and has much greater atomic number, so can absorb gamma rays much better.

Though, the anti-iron is a thing too. We can make antipusher plates out of it.

so what happens if you have an orion and an anti orion using fission and antifission warheads, and then annihilate them while running behind an even larger pusher plate?

A lot of light and warmness.

We finally meet (predictably) a barrier we cannot penetrate.

But we can design successors, designed for space/interstellar travel...

My biggest problem with the Theory of Evolution is that mankind cannot seem to accept that we are NOT the end of our own line.  We just have to survive that long...

Just longer life spans wont cut it, it would take a fundamental change in what we term "society" or "civilisation" almost to the point of being unrecognisable. IMO.

Intelligent social networks are the next step. First of people, then emulating their personalities endlessly, then becoming hiveminds.

And look, google studies your habits...
