What is the likelihood that you will witness the return of Halley's Comet in the year 2061?

I saw Halley's Comet during its appearance in 1986.  Given that I am 70-years-old, I won't be around in the year 2061 to see the return of Halley's Comet.

    I would have to live to be 115 to witness that, assuming I wasn't blind.

    I heard the covid shots were made from baby fetus so maybe they will be like a fountain of youth and we will live forever (just goofing around I now have had 2 shots and I feel so much safer).

    0%  I'll have gone home to live with Jesus long before then.

    I didn't see it last time it was here, but I got the t-shirt.

    I will be a hundred years old by then so there is chance that I will see it. Cheers!

    There is an outside chance, but I won't hang on just for that. The last time was kind of anticlimactic.

    Yeah, I could barely see it, and I drove 10 miles from the city.

    I got up at 4 am to look through a telescope so powerful that I could see the rings on Saturn. The comet looked like a small smudge.

    I am 61 today, so it is highly unlikely.

  • I'll be 71.  It's possible I'll be able to see it.

    If my eyesight holds out till I'm 115.  Chances are the weather will be cloudy anyway.  This post was edited by Malizz at July 4, 2021 1:33 PM MDT

    There is a chance...I will be 87 then.  I don't know that I will care at that point. I missed it in 1986.
