This is a video I put together depicting a timeline of humanity's (and other life's) expansion into space and my predicted dates of certain milestones. The timeline starts in the year C.E. 2017 (the year I uploaded this video) and has the last event around the year 10000.
I also added in some clips showing scenes of space travel at the end of the video.
So... sit back, relax, and enjoy this depiction of our future in space!
