Richard's Room 101 - "Future History - The Next Hundred Years in Space?": http://binnallofamerica.com/rr10.12.8.html
"I've always had an interest in science fiction and the future of space travel. So this fortnight, I thought we might try something a little different...a possible timeline for the next hundred years or so in space. ...
In the timeline, I've tried to predict future events and breakthroughs as best I can. The first third is pretty much based on NASA's plans for the future, but after 2033 I've had to rely more on the writings of futurists and visionaries like Michio Kaku, Robert Zubrin and Ray Kurzweil, plus some old fashioned guess work.
If any of these predictions seem too fantastic or impossible to achieve in the next hundred years, just think how far we've come over the last century or so. Back in 1903, many mainstream scientist still thought heavier-than-air flight was impossible...never mind travelling faster-than-sound or walking on the Moon! So, when it comes to the future, its probably best to keep an open mind and wait and see."
