If today’s one of those days that seems to be moving so slow that time has all but stopped then this video is perfect for you. It takes a look into the future and highlights all of the major events on the horizon. Marking events like when the World Cup and Olympics will take place. When new countries are set to be formed. It plots when humans are attempting to go to space, build space stations, and when new space observatories will be completed.
