What, you're not going to be perpetually unhappy unless EVERYTHING invented within the last 30 years is TOTALLY OUT OF USE?

Damn teenagers. Grow a pair, son, and you'll live long enough to get whatever you want. There'll be something cool to buy.

Ok bro, first of all, call a suicide hotline.It really does get better.
As for inventions, pretty much every house is going to have a computer that can be rolled up like paper and stuck in your pocket.
The cure for AIDs will be well on its way, and believe me, you want want to miss the "AIDs is cured origy" 30 or so years from now.
And I dont think you'll wantto miss it when shit hits the fan in best korea 5 years or so in the future.
Talking about shit hitting the fan, the 2012 solar flairs will make an impresive light show.
Not to mention that they may or may not cure aging within our lifetime, so if you hang around long enough you might even have a chance to explore the stars.

So yeah, I hope you stick around, because its going to be a fucking amazing ride.

In astronautical domain, it will be very interesting actually.

It won't be Star Trek, you don't need to be fluent on klingon (but in chinese why not)

Astrobotic Techs. is leading the way for private based mission on the moon under contract with Space-X privately-based launching company. So in a few years there will be private rovers on the moon.
I heard that they are planning to let people aroun the world controlling them (not always of course)

But in maybe 20 years, every space agencies are planning human base on the moon (CNSA, ESA, JAXA, ISRA and NASA) and want to send probe on Mars to bring back Martian rocks to the earth.

It can seems shit compared to Star stuff but it IS the beginning of private space station, space tourism, and space industry with mining exploitation of the moon, mars and asteroids.

there will be nothing new op because science reach an ending and there will be nothing like faster then light travel, space colonialisation, nor sex in space (proven to be impossible because of radiation), there will also be no time travel, singularity and transumanism. oh and everyone will look like some arab faggot in 200years

You say all that but in the past forty years we've done shit all in manned space stuff that is to say basically nothing. Moon bases within thirty years? lolno

What we need to get working on is a space elevator to launch shit from without using up enough fuel to power a small country for years.

I'm just saying that there were only 66 years between the Wright brothers flew their first plane and when America first set foot on the moon. It's not much longer until it will have been 66 years since the moon landing and we still havent done shit to eclipse that

Space elevators is far from being possible. We don't even have the material for it (there's still a prize for the first material that can be produced in a 36000 km long cable resisting its own weight)

But about manned mission on the moon, 40 yrs back it was only governmental fundings. Now we talk about private based fundings, that's different. Previous mission planning was for installation of a dozen of astronauts wandering in lunar soil ... now we talk about miners. Lunar crust is rich in a lot of metals (especially Rhenium which worth right now 10 times the gold and the isotope of Helium He3 which is the best possible fuel for fusion reactor)
I know, we don't have fusion either but russians and chineses are already planned to extract it to make "strategical reserves".

And BTW, China will send the first module of the Chinese Space Station later this year (look for the Project 921-2)

So...2031...how about sex robots? Space tourism should hopefully be more common and cheaper, with actual space hotels to go to. Military shit is always cool: laser weapons, rail guns, more impressive combat robots. Gigabit internet is awesome. The first true cyborgs and synthetic life are within reach. The first earthlike/habitable planet outside our solar system is likely to be found. Shit, we may even find an exoplanet that is extremely likely to hold life. Both of those discoveries would create a slight urge to advance spaceflight. I really think that the first true antiviral drugs will be out there, even if they're still in the drug testing phase. These are all predictions on current trends though. I'd love to be able to tell you about true breakthroughs, but I don't read enough scientific literature and news.
