What possible future event will you regret not being alive to witness?

The man=god posts aren't that far off.

Our next step in evolution will come when we "figure out how the brain works" on a level that will allow us to manipulate it chemically, mechanically etc to the point that our species will no longer be H. sapiens sapiens, but something else...

I don't think that will happen in my lifetime, but it will happen soon.

Contact would of course be awesome-- this is the only event I can imagine that would cause us to restart our calenders again from year 1.
