I know I'm a few days late with the whole new year/new decade thing, sorry about that. I had book stuff to do.😎 But now we're in the 2020s, and this had damn well better be the decade where some mind-blowing technological advances happen. With that in mind--

Which of the following do you think we are MOST LIKELY to have in 2030:

⚡️(1) A fully functioning lunar base, where astronauts live and work on the surface for 6+ months at a time and (rich) tourists visit.

⚡️(2) Boots on Mars, and not the robotic kind.

⚡️(3) Effective anti-aging/life-extension medication or treatments - not to make us immortal (yet), but to extend our *healthy* lifespan well into the 100s.

⚡️(4) Practical brain-computer interfaces - chips in our brains, or at least subcutaneous/on-skin hardware that communicates with our brains.

⚡️(5) Discovery of microbial alien life in our solar system and/or confirmation of a clear technological signature (advanced alien life) out there.

Let me know your answer in the comments, and feel free to expound!
