What's the next "historic" future year?

In B5 the first lunar colony was established in 2018.

And in Star Trek the first sleeper ships made space travel practical that same year.

I don't remember if that's the exact quote but Marla MaGivers said something to that effect in "Space Seed" just before they woke up Khan.

On the contrary -- sleeper ships were in use as far back as 1996, when Khan was exiled. 2018 was the year that sleeper ships were abandoned because faster interplanetary drives had been invented.

Speak for yourself. We actually do have three seashells on top of our cistern. Yes, it is intentional. No, we still haven't figured it out.

Note to self: Don't go to SpocksOddSocks house or shake either of his hands...

Hopefully a secret Jaeger program has been in place for a while now - Pacific Rim's first kaiju attack takes place in 2020 against Anchorage, Alaska. I live in Anchorage. Not looking forward to next year.

Also, Reign Of Fire would indicate that England is gonna have a dragon problem on it's hands in 2020.

I’d like to at least see some sort of special in 2021. They did a Harvey Birdman one.
