Forecasting the next 50 years of space research is a dangerous game and a somewhat irresponsible action. Fortunately, the past 50 years have evidenced what remains in the realm of realism and of the feasible and what definitely belongs to the realm of utopia. Nevertheless those who, like me today, take the risk of forecasting such a relatively long time trend are sure of one thing: to be wrong!
