Next Halley’s Comet visit will be 2061. If I’m alive I’ll be 87
Who else watched it in 1986?
I’m trying to make a list of historic events I’m very sure will happen in the future within my lifetime if I’m still alive, and this is literally the only thing I can think of.

There are lots of astronomical events, but nearer term, the 2020 election and the next bitcoin halfening. Longer term, the 2038 Unix timestamp rollover - and that's the only human-influenced one I'd be sure about that far out. (I'm guessing we won't move Halley's comet, but...?)

Well astronomical you have to pick somewhat charismatic ones that are close in and have some human history significance I guess we can bet on a few Unix computers being around in 2038 preserved by the zombie resistance force

2020 election seems like going through pointless end-of-history motions in a general decline
