I hope this isn't a fast thread, However I'm wondering what events we will witness in our life time? what do you think will also be achieved by science by the time were on our death bed?
as for good / bad events witnessed during my life, off the top of my head
first black president
world trade center
iraq feud
felix bumgardner breaking the sound barrier
ISS being complete
virgin commercial space program
probably missing a lot more but what else has happened & might during our lifetime? I was born in 1990 so going from then.

As for the future... Indefinite life spans, quantum computing, actual useful robots, death of EA, a modern american rail system, fusion power, death of gasoline as a fuel source for vehicles, a solution for Occupied Palestine...
I can be optimistic, can't I?
The release of JBmod 3.0
A man on Mars
A rise of electric vehicles
End to corruption in major government (hopefully)
4chan gets shut down due to insufficient funds.
Garry's mod being better than JBmod, but that's very optimistic.
Immortality. In fact I have no intention of witnessing anything less than everything before I choose to die.
HL3
Lindsay Lohan dying four years from now at the age of 75 .
marijuana legalized ;_;

Well apparently in the not so distant future, antibiotics will become completely ineffective. I suppose that's something important.
According to something in the news about a year ago, at least

[QUOTE=MuTAnT;39211210]Immortality. In fact I have no intention of witnessing anything less than everything before I choose to die.[/QUOTE] I have always came to this same conclusion. I hope to see the perfect world in my lifetime, in fact, I mean to.

Death of Gabe Newell.
[QUOTE=Spirit_Breaker;39215021]Death of Gabe Newell.[/QUOTE]

The front page of the store has a eulogy dedicated to the late Gabe Newell.
There's one item in your inventory.
It's a coupon.

Most likely one or more major terrorist attacks will happen before any of us die.
There's a theory that the first people that will live to 500 years old have already been born (as such life-extending technology may be developed in their natural lifetimes), so there may be so much more we'll be able to see.
