    2020|American moon base built
    By who/what? NASA essentially shut down in case you haven't noticed, and I don't think the US is going to be building any moon bases if the economy stays like this for even another year or two.

    2029|Manned Mars Flyby
    Possible, but they may as well just land there is were going 20 years into the future.

    2030|First Russian moon mission
    ...
    This already happened.


    2037|American Base built and first american landing on mars
    Maybe, maybe.

    2040|Worldwide wars begin in asia and south america
    Don't forget Sweden :3

    2045|Second Civil War interrupts US space program
    Civil War about WHAT? Voting parties? Voting parties are a huge factor of capitalism, without them, its essentially communism.

    2060|America recovers and manned lunar base population reaches 200
    Unless the growth of our technology is exponential, we'll probably have about 50-100

    2061|First Child born in space large debate over citizenship and title of child
    Seriously doubt it, if a child is conceived and held in the womb in space, it cannot form right and will often lead to huge deformities, miscarriage, or death at birth.

    2062|Callisto base developed
    ?

    2065|BAse becomes a colony population reaches 5000
    See 2061

    2067|Chinese space program putts a small outpost on moon
    If the economy continues to follow its current path, China will be the latest economic power in the world, and will no doubt have built a moon base before this

    2078|Atomic Wars china is dissolved
    When did this war start? And hopefully by this point, there are no more nukes.

    2080|ET signal detected
    Maybe.

    2081|Scientist attempt to develop a strategy for interstellar travel
    We've been "attempting" this since the space programs began.

    2083|The big three(America, Brazil and, Russia) develop a sure date for the first interstellar expedition(2130)
    I seriously doubt Brazil will be a "Big Three" China and America definitely, but probably not Brazil and Russia. I honestly hope you didn't base that statement on the physical size of the countries.

    2090|A second signal reaches earth
    Maybe.

    2100s|TV ,computer, and phone becomes obsolete
    All technology is a computer. It is impossible for computer to be obsolete. Television, maybe, but unless someone invents telepathy, there will always be some sort of phone.

    Just my opinions the matter.

    2078|Atomic Wars china is dissolved THIS WOULD NEVER HAPPEN! AS IT IS CHINA IS SOON TO BE THE NEW WORLD LEADER!

    computers, tv, phones gone? WHAT WOULD TAKE THERE PLACE THAT STORES WOULD SELL INSTEAD.

    Okay just stop talking about nuclear wars in China....back on topic.

    2078|Atomic Wars china is dissolved
    When did this war start? And hopefully by this point, there are no more nukes.


    Did you even know USA is secretly building a IPTM?

    2062|Callisto base developed
    ?


    NASA is planning to put a base on one of the Jovian Moons, since it's been know to have liquid water under it's surface.

    2061|First Child born in space large debate over citizenship and title of child
    Seriously doubt it, if a child is conceived and held in the womb in space, it cannot form right and will often lead to huge deformities, miscarriage, or death at birth.

    Imagine the technology we have at that time.

    I forgot to add First MANNED Russian moon mission
    Sorry =_=

    My view of our future up to millenia away:
    We all kill ourselves with climate change and overpopulation-2280
    OR
    We all kill ourselves with nukes-2090
    OR
    2020-Quantum Computers
    2022-TVs, Computers, Radios and Cellphones basically thee same little holopad! (Smartphones and digital tv is beginning this!)
    2025-Man on Mars
    2028 to 2031-Construction of Moon base
    2030-Artificial Meat Publicly Available
    2044-Aging Cure
    2050-Earth Population at 10,000,000,000
    Mars Base construction begins
    Moon Population at 30
    2054-Mars Base Construction Complete
    2060-Mass Building Projects on nearby planets
    Building on asteroids for mining begins
    2080-Mass Exodus of 200,000 people to the moon and Mars
    2090-People begin living on asteroids
    2100-Callisto Base constructed
    2101-100th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks
    2105-Ganymede Base Constructed
    2108-Martian microbe found!!
    2112-Europa Surface Base Built
    2114-Titan Base Construction begins
    2120-
    Earth Pop: 9,800,000,000
    Mars Pop: 1,100,000,000
    Moon Pop: 890,000,000
    Total Space Station Pop: 200,000
    Asteroid Pop: 640,000,000
    Jupiter Moons Pop: 64,500
    Titan Pop: 2,100
    2124 to 2200-
    Bases Built:
    Europa Underwater
    Enceladus
    Mimas
    Amalthea
    Pheobe
    Tethys
    Dione
    Umbriel
    Triton
    Many in the asteroids
    2300-Pluto reached
    Until 3100-
    Massive Growth of population in Space, especially Kuiper Belt
    During this time, Type 1 is reached
    3225-Interstellar Probe takes off to Alpha Centauri
    3245-Another leaves for Gliese 581
    3300-Probe 1 signal hits Earth
    3500-We're getting too big for our solar system, overpopulation is a problem once more
    3550-We're found by aliens and join their civilisation, meanwhile Interstellar Probe 2 reaches Gliese 581, signal will get back in 3590
    The rest is not purely our history... But still... When I think of it I'll keep going!
    (More coming)

    With the current technology we won't go any further then the Mars (manned space travel).
    NASA, ESA and FSA are still using technology from 1944. Sure they did some improvements, added computer based flight, etc. But the basics are still the same.

    If we don't come up with a new - better - technology then I don't see any of these things coming true.

    Stephen Hawking:

    I don't think the human race will survive the next thousand years, unless we spread into space. There are too many accidents that can befall life on a single planet. But I'm an optimist. We will reach out to the stars.

    What we should say to government is:
    Asteroids=Rare Minerals
    That=$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
