I'd say that the most realistic of those options would be an international space station and/or a mars mission. Unfortunately, people seem to have lost interest in space exploration. In the short term, what would it really do apart from having been done. These things are expensive.

Definitely putting someone on Mars. I mean, the moon was alright, but going all the way to Mars makes getting to the moon seem like a small, masturbating child in comparison.

I think cheaper alternatives to getting into space will be big. Designing cheaper means of launching things (sattelites, space station parts, garbage, etc) out into space will be big. As well, putting people into space and revamping the current space shuttle will be a big aim. Trying to cut the costs down and perhaps start some sort of tourism industry, things like that. Something that humanity would "really benefit" from... There's been a trend in technology that focuses less on the grandiose, and rather focuses on efficiency, etc. Of course, that can all change within the next 93 years or so, but with ever-more dwindling resources, who knows?

Terraforming The moon or Mars, Earth is basically screwed over.

How would they change the moon and Mars to have similar characteristics as Earth? Is that possible?

Searching for (Finding) extraterrestrial life. Or the space elevator (which I think would be in the 22nd century if at all...).

Note, I was saying this simply because it has not been fully tested in mainstream science, largely because it is not fully accepted and generally affiliated with the idea of 'bullshit UFO's' amongst mainstream scientists. Not that it couldn't be a very plausible source of lift for ET craft, and many suspect that it actually is due to some frequency tests, but I believe in it's possibility quite a bit, mind you. Actually, electrogravity and anti-gravity are different things. Whilst anti-gravity requires a huge power source and is independent of the variable of mass, electrogravity relies on the mass of the spacecraft as it's power source. The more massive, the more powerful the upward thrust, and as the craft ascends, the effect intensifies. http://redshift.vif.com/JournalFiles/Pre2001/V00NO18PDF/NR18JAA.PDF http://www.electrogravity.com/ Those are pretty good. I'm tired now, so if you have any comments on the mathematics of this, message me, since I am not quite as well learned in equations as in other things. I did not bother to try to decipher all the math(yet), but if you notice something definately wrong with it all, then give me a heads up. Post edited at 5:16 pm on Feb. 3, 2007 by DoomMaker
