As most of us probably aware 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, here are the events that will most likely happen before the year 2025.
In 2018, two new countries may emerge in the form of New Caledonia and Bougainville in the Pacific, as they hold independence referendums from France and Papua New Guinea respectively. The FIFA World Cup will be held in Russia and NASA will deploy the James Webb Space Telescope which will be significantly more powerful than the Hubble Space Telescope.
In 2019, the United Kingdom will officially leave the European Union and the FIFA Women's World Cup will be held in France.
The next year in 2020 will probably be quite eventful. The Jeddah tower in Saudi Arabia is scheduled to be completed which will become the new tallest structure in the world at a full kilometer tall. The Summer Olympics will be held in Tokyo and Bigelow Aerospace plans on beginning construction of the first ever space hotel.
In 2021, India is expected to launch our first ever manned space mission.
The following year in 2022, China has plans on constructing their first very own Space Station. In addition, the FIFA World Cup will be hosted once again in Qatar and the Winter Olympics will be hosted in Beijing, China.
In 2023, the copyrights on the earliest Mickey Mouse cartoons will expire under current US copyright law.
In 2024, the company SpaceX ostensibly has plans on launching their first rocket carrying cargo to Mars in preparation for a future manned mission.
Finally, we will arrive at the year of 2025. The giant Magellan telescope is scheduled to be completed in this year. It will be the largest observatory in the world at this point and have 10 times the resolution power of the Hubble Space Telescope. In addition, the UK will have completely phased out all of their coal power plants.
So, they are things to be 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.
