In this talk I shall try to highlight some themes that seem to promise specially interesting progress in the coming decades. I can't claim to be much of a prophet myself, but I'd like to recall someone who was: Arthur C. Clarke. He lived in Sri Lanka, and died in 2007, aged 90. I'd like to discuss three issues that he would have found interesting: space and alien life; galaxies and their origin; and (more speculatively) the size of our universe.
