To have an old time exploration adventure a la one of the guys in the Royal Geographical Society, or Howard Carter. I feel like adventures like that just don't happen any more.

And a somewhat logical offshoot of that- I want to be alive to see us send an expedition out to another earth-like world. Or live long enough to see us confirm the existence of extra-terrestrial life (doesn't have to be intelligent). Or hell, I'll settle for seeing us mine asteroids. That's more attainable, supposedly.
