Do you expect to see Halley's Comet when it returns in mid-2061?

I doubt if I will; I'll be a centenarian by then.

I saw it in 1986, though.

[liberal N proud]

1. I would be 102 so doubt it

[hobbit709]

2. I'd be 111

[jalan48]

3. If I do it will be from somewhere else in space.

[WinkyDink]

4. Not unless I live to see 112! And then my eyesight wouldn't be good enough, haha!

[Tom_Foolery]

5. Nope. n/t

[sarge43]

6. 118. Hope not. n/t

[In_The_Wind]

7. I might.

If I'm as lucky as this lovely lady.

[Laffy Kat]

36. Is that a relative? nt

[MosheFeingold]

8. I'll be a spy 136

Assuming my math is correct.

Outliving my name sake is my goal. He apparently made it to 120.

[Iggo]

9. Fairly certain I won't live to be anwhere near a hundred.

So no.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

10. Nope--I expect to be dead by then! n/t

[uriel1972]

11. 89? hmmm probably not... nt

[Fla Dem]

12. I'll be but a distant memory by then. nt

[NewJeffCT]

13. I'll be 95

so, there is an outside chance I could still be alive.

[mnhtnbb]

14. No. I hope I will not be alive since I'd be 110.

[catbyte]

15. Nope. I'll be fertilizer before then or too old to care. I'll be 106. I saw it in 1986, too.

[raccoon]

16. Any whippersnappers want to respond to this? nt

[lunatica]

17. I'll be there at 104

[jakeXT]

18. If it weren't for Alzheimer's, I might remember to do it in my 80's/nt

[IrishEyes]

19. Yes, I think so. I will only be in my early 80s.

My grandparents all lived until their 80s and 90s. My parents are still alive and in great health. It is weird to think of all of the amazing things that I will see and do before then. I was a little kid in 1986 but I do remember it.

[3catwoman3]

20. I would be 110.

Possible. My dad made it to 90, and my mom is currently 93 and sharp as a tack. We'll see.

[Reter]

28. Sure it's possible, but 110 would be a super-centurion

A super-centurion is uber-rare. There are currently less than 100 in the world out of 7 billion people. 90 and 93 are relatively common.

[3catwoman3]

31. Centurion...

...or centenarian?

[Joe Shlabotnik]

33. Hey if you live to be 110,

you can be what ever you want to be!

[pinboy3niner]

21. Can Halley schedule his comet for a few decades earlier?

I think I'll have urned the right to ask.

[cemaphonic]

22. I'd be 75, so I've got a good shot.

Most of my grandparents made it to their mid 80s, and my parents are still really healthy just shy of 70

[femmocrat]

23. No, I'll be long gone by then.

Unless my relatives send my ashes into outer space!

[HeiressofBickworth]

24. I'd be 116 -- so no comet for me.

I worked with a woman whose baby was born in 1986 - she named the little girl Halley. She stands a chance to see it again. But I'll be merely a name in a family tree by that time.

[MrScorpio]

25. I'd be 99

I don't know if I'd want to live that long.

[Hoyt]

26. Not likely unless reincarnated.

[bikebloke]

27. One way of the other.

I'll be 106, with a few decades to go before I start slowing down. Otherwise, I'll catch it in the next reincarnation...unless I'm a bat or a mole.

[kairos12]

29. The ony comet I will see in my remaining years is that on my bathroom drain.

[avebury]

30. I expect not. I anticipate that

I will be long dead by then and thats ok.

[Joe Shlabotnik]

32. No way in hell I'm making 90

50 and I'll be lucky.

[TexasBushwhacker]

34. I would be 104

So I hope not. I have no interest in being a frail old lady.

[Laffy Kat]

35. I acquired a kitty in 1986 and named her Halley in it's honor.

For the life of me I can't remember if I ever saw the comet, though. I don't think we could see it in my neck of the woods. Anyway, I'll never have another pet named Halley and I'm sure I won't be around next time the comet makes an appearance. Quite at peace with both of those ideas.

[Initech]

37. I'm 35 now. In 2061 I will be a spry 91 years old if I live that long.
