Of course people in 1968 thought that space travel would be affordable by 2001, and people in 1985 thought flying cars and coffee machine-sized fusion reactors would be commonplace in 2015, so some predictions take longer than others...

Well if you're wrong we'll be dead so win-win.
Everything is wrong unless it's the right time I guess.
Aka timing is everything.
