What possible future event will you regret not being alive to witness?
 
I have often wondered what amazing things will happen in the future long after I am dead. I think I would most miss not being there to witness our first contact with an intelligent lifeform from another planet.

Knowing my luck I'll die three days before they invent the immortality pill. Seriously though if there are any scientists reading if you can get working on the society as described here I'd be much oblidged.

Meh, been there, done that. It's not that exciting, trust me. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I wish I could live long enough to witness humans visiting other solar systems. However, there's probably no way that will happen in my lifetime -- if it ever happens at all.

I hope I live long enough to see humans return to the Moon and land on Mars. Given my relative young age and NASA's plans, it seems rather likely that I will see those things, but things could go to hell either on my end or the world's end, and it would be disappointing not to see them.
