Default 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.

Isn't it a walk on part in the wall? Don't know but thats what I always assumed. I also agree who gives a damn about going to mars untill we find cures for all diseases. If we have all diseases cured, won't we need somewehre to put all these people that all of a sudden aren't dying like they used to.

Anyways I can't believe no one has said time travel, ya thats the answer, time travel.

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.

My parents got the moon landing. By the way things are going though I doubt I'll see a Mars landing, which is a shame.

I'd like to live in something like Iain Banks' the Culture series.

It's sad because it probably won't happen for political reasons, not for lack of technology.

Who cares? If there's no value in going to Mars, why should we go there? How about we fund cancer research or computer technology or something useful instead? Just as long as we're spending hundreds of billions, we might as well get something more from it than bragging rights.
