ESA and NASA have selected the scientific instruments for their first joint Mars mission. Scheduled for 2016, it will study the chemical makeup of the martian atmosphere, including methane. Discovered in 2003, methane could point to life on the Red Planet.

[Gabbe]

wow, todays news. But are you sure that will be accomplished? There is some heavy solar radiation out there..

[kukac2]

The solar radiation is out there since the very beginning. They must have found some solution by now.

Ok but seriously, were are we in 100 years?

[wyvern]

nowhere, NASA is closing all space flights for the time being, and our technology has not advanced significantly in the past 10-30 years , the only thing I can imagine happening is another world war

I think the US will go down, along with southern europe and china will go up along with brazil and northern europe, EU will be non existant and India and China will be in a war, unless they decide to both go on the US. We`ll probably have the planned moon base along with having someone walked on Mars. Getting new energy sources, all southern countries have gotten technology to aquire energy from the sun, the north and south pole have oil platforms all over and Russia will invade Scandinavia because the US isn`t there to protect us. Also the terrorists will probably walk right into europe and crush NATO along with other institutions. The UK will also probably fall due to bad economy and there will be no longer a rich western world.

Well, we might all die before these events. 
The future is the future...It's what we do about it, and others...

[wyvern]

All of Europe is gonna collapse completely, and its possible that the US, India and China will go the same way, not sure about russia but also going down, the middle east and africa is gonna be screwed up as it has been and the only place thats doing good and might have a nice future is Brazil, I think theres gonna be a WW3, cuz WW2 started after a large deppression.

[mictes]

The only thing you can predict with 100% chance is that everything will happen except the things people post in this topic.
AMEN

[ultifd]

Ah, maybe. Those facts are more like theories though, only a few are facts. 

[wyvern]

Zombie Apocalypse.

LOL I find most of that hard to believe to say the least, though things like brain parasites exist, they don't control they just kill the brain and you die and of story

Really those all depend on whether people can get along better than they have been.  Countries as a whole need to behave less like primitive, bellicose states and more like twenty-first century nations.  It also depends on what type of people are put in positions of power.
