Stories like this are why I hope medical science finds a way to extend life expectancy. I'd love to get a few extra decades just to see the cool things that happen.
I've got bad news about the future for you.
Whatever you think you know about the future, guaranteed you're wrong.
Your science is the best we got right now, just like the science was in the past. Your predictions are the best we got right now. Your cool shit's going to look just as dumb to your grandchildren as those rubber monster suits in old movies. Your guesses about the future are going to look as dumb as an episode of the Jetsons.
Lets just hope that our grandchildren will laugh at our dumb predictions that human made climate change will cause a mass extintion event and destroy most of earth's ability to sustain life

I'm jealous of your optimism. I really hope the future aligns with your expectations, and not mine.
I, for one, would love to see Uranus before I die
