Artemis I is the first test of NASA’s deep space exploration systems, with the Orion spacecraft launching atop the massive Space Launch System (SLS) rocket. This mission is the first in a series of missions to demonstrate NASA’s ability to extend human existence to the Moon and beyond.

In 2023, Aurora becomes the world's fastest supercomputer and only the second to be measured in exaFLOPS (defined as a billion billion floating point operations per second). Designed by Intel and Cray for the Argonne Nat. Lab. Aurora is the successor to Frontier, which came online in 2022.
Aurora's planned functions include research on AI, cancer, cosmology, low carbon technologies, neuroscience, nuclear fusion, and subatomic particles. It will also develop new materials for batteries. -
In 2014, a breakthrough involving the use of bio-electronics was unveiled by researchers. This took the form of a pacemaker-style device embedded in the necks of patients, firing electrical impulses to stimulate the vagus nerve, the impulses reduced activity in the spleen, in turn producing fewer chemicals and immune cells that would normally cause inflammation in the joints of patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Over half of people saw improvement.

The Sagrada Família is a massive, privately-funded Roman Catholic church that has been under construction in Barcelona since 1882. Considered the masterwork of renowned Spanish architect Antoni Gaudí (1852–1926), the project's vast scale and idiosyncratic design have made it one of Spain's top tourist attractions, visited by millions of people each year. Construction of the building is finally completed this year, the 100th anniversary of Gaudí's death.

The controversy surrounding the autopsy – as well as various other questionable circumstances – led conspiracy theorists to proclaim that the King was still alive. After his funeral, there were numerous alleged sightings of Presley. A long-standing theory among fans was that he had faked his own death so he could retire in peace.
The full autopsy report is finally made public on 16th August 2027, exactly half a century after Presley's death.* -
The 2028 Summer Olympics, officially known as the Games of the XXXIV Olympiad, and commonly known as Los Angeles 2028 or LA28, is an upcoming international multi-sport event scheduled to take place from July 14 to July 30, 2028 in and around Los Angeles, California, United States.

By the end of this decade, a milestone is reached in artificial intelligence, with computers now routinely passing the Turing Test. This hours-long experiment is conducted by a human judge who is made to engage in a natural language conversation with one human and one machine, each of which tries to appear human. Participants are placed in isolated locations.

By 2030, 3d printing will be used to construct living, biological systems. Layer after layer of cells, could be dispensed from printer heads and placed exactly where they’re needed with microscopic precision.
-
By 2030, 6G could replace 5G. Some experts estimate that it could be 100 times faster than 5G, which equates to 1 TB per second. At that speed, you could download 142 hours of Netflix movies in one second.

NASA and other agencies had constructed a station in lunar orbit. Subsequently, they deployed a number of robotic platforms for remote lunar surface operations.** The first crewed base on the lunar surface would follow during the mid-late 2030s – led by NASA but with contributions from the European Space Agency (ESA), Canadian Space Agency (CSA), and others, alongside commercial companies.

By 2040, multiple large tech companies will make significant contributions to the metaverse. And the metaverse will gain widespread appeal among people of most age groups and demographics. More than likely, the average person will use the metaverse and hardware components associated with it as much as people use the internet and smartphones today.

By 2040, autonomous vehicles could operate without human intervention at all. However, the main factor that would accelerate this development would be cities and districts that are specifically built to support level 5 autonomous vehicles.
This could involve specific parts of a city building roads embedded with sensors so that the location of each autonomous vehicle is tracked in an interconnected network. -
In 2050, brain-computer interfaces have vastly improved over the versions from 2030 and they’re largely usable for everyday purposes. Headbands and wrist bands with non-invasive sensors have become the preferred choices for mainstream brain-computer interface use. These interfaces are usually standard accessories for virtual reality. And some brain-computer interfaces are fully implantable for medical and military purposes.

In 2050, two space elevators have been built and they’re the largest engineering projects ever undertaken. China and the Obayashi Corp in Japan are committed to building their own space elevators more than three decades ago and that vision has come to life.
These space elevators are planet-to-space transportation systems that each have a cable anchored to the earth’s surface and extending into space. This will permit travel to space without the use of large rockets.
