Events That Will Happen Before 2050

Predicting the future is a very difficult business to be involved in. Unanticipated events can always change what we thought would happen. But we're still free to make our best-educated guesses with the means that are available to us.

With that in mind let's talk about the events that will most likely happen before 2050

2018

• Two new countries may emerge (Bougainville and New Caledonia)
  

2019

-The United Kingdom will officially leave the European Union

2020

• The Jeddah Tower in Saudi Arabia is scheduled to be completed which will become the new tallest structure in the world with 1 Kilometer tall
  

• Bigelow Aerospace will begin the construction of the first ever space hotel that will be able to accommodate six very wealthy guests at a time
  

2021

• India is expected to launch their first ever manned space mission

2022

• China plans on constructing their first very own Space Station

2023

• The Copyrights on the earliest Mickey Mouse cartoons will expire under current US copyright law

2024

• The company SpaceX ostensibly has plans on launching their first rocket carrying cargo to Mars in preparation for a future manned mission

2025

• The giant Magellan Telescope is scheduled to be completed. It will be the largest observatory in the world and have 10x the resolution power of the hubble space
  

2026

• We will probably see the SpaceX mission to Mars
• NASA has also plans to send a manned mission to visit an asteroid
• La Sagrada Familia church, in Barcelona, will probably be completed, the construction of this epic church began all the way back in 1882 (144 years of construction)
  

2027

• The SpaceX crew that launched in 2026 will finally arrive to Mars meaning that we might witness the first-ever humans to set foot on Mars this year
• The full autopsy report on Elvis Presley, which was agreed to be sealed for 50 years following his death, will finally be made publicly available

2030

• NASA plans on launching their own first manned mission to Mars. So if SpaceX failed to accomplish this in 2027 then NASA will probably land the first humans on the red planet
  China has plans on launching their own manned mission to the moon

2036

• The most ambitious upcoming space project called Breakthrough Starshot. Without going into much details the plan should be able to send a tiny spacecraft to the Alpha Centauri Star System, the nearest star to Earth. A planet inside the system, Proxima Centauri B, is located inside of the habitable zone there and could possibly be home to some form of extraterrestrial life. When the tiny ships are launched they will arrive at Alpha Centauri System in 20-30 years later and can take detailed photographs of this mysterious planet
  

2037

We may see the first summer where there won't be any ice in the Artic

2040

• France will have completely banned the sale of gasoline and diesel vehicles in the country

2042

• The world population will have probably reached 9 Billion people
• We'll probably see the world's first Trillionair

2045

• The estimated year of technological singularity, meaning that this may be the year where artificial intelligence will surpass human intelligence which could lead to enourmous and unforseen changes in society

2050

• By this point half of the Amazon rainforest will likely be deforested
• About 70% of the world population will leave in cities
• About 50% of the global population may not have access to clean drinking water
• The average global life expectancy will be 76 years old
• There will be super smart artificial intelligence that will be even smarter than humans
• Self-Driving cars will likely be normal
• Possible hundreds or even thousands of people will be living and working on mars

There are things to be both afraid of and excited for in the future. So let's make sure to work as hard as we can in the present to make our future the best one that we can possibly imagine
