What will be?

[Weltall]

I'm an optimist. I think humanity will transcend itself in the next 1000 years, and America will build an empire of the stars.

World War III I do not believe will ever happen, at least, the world's current state is not really one that is susceptable to a massive worldwide conflict. I believe that warfare will continue to be for a very long time as it has been ever since World War II: Localized. The only nations in the world today that have the capacity to wage a world war are incredibly unlikely to.

One of my lifelong dreams is for humanity to conquer space. I hope that begins as soon as possible, for space is truly the final frontier and God only knows what waits for us in it's infinite span. I think that once space exploration becomes a reality, our race will begin a period of advancement the likes of which we've only dreamed about.

The only thing that can stop us is some sort of natural cataclysm. And the more we branch out amongst the stars, the less catastrophic such an event would be. Once humanity is able to leave our homeworld and claim other worlds, we will truly become immortal.
