Ask HN: What are you looking forward to?

As much injustice that we see on a regular basis I think it's still an exciting time to be alive purely for the chance to observe ourselves as a civilization.

Things like the U.S. government giving NASA more money than they asked for[0], I think, are indicative of the direction we are heading; this example alone is very exciting to me.

The LHC is doing some deep cleaning before the next spin up.[1] If you haven't seen the documentary Particle Fever[2] I highly recommend it, it's on Netflix.

Is HN looking forward to anything?
