A Transit of Venus finished a few hours ago. (100% overcast where I am, alas.)
The next one is in 2117. How many of us expect to see it?
ETA: So far, one nitpick and one Singularitarian prediction.
Personally, I expect to be dead in the usual way by the middle of this century at the latest, and even if I had myself frozen, I don't expect cryonic revival to be possible by 2117. I am not expecting a Singularity by then either. Twenty-year-olds today might reasonably have a hope of life extension of the necessary amount.
ETA2: A little sooner than that, there's a transit of the Earth from Mars in 2084. Anyone up for that?
From Earth it's in 2117. From a high orbit around the Earth, there will be many transits of Venus in a few next decades.
We should not see that in 2117, since we should turn our Solar system to some useware before then.
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post, even in Discussion, it goes here.
