I understand that this is the new big project for NASA.
 
Astronomy news on Phys.org
It has a proposed launch date around 2040. They are still figuring out the details (which will take years). The LUVOIR concepts are also involved.

I guess I will need to take care of myself to see that.

If all goes well, maybe we can have the "Carl Sagan Observatory" to look forward to in only ~12 years time.

According to Elon Musk, we should be living on Mars by then!
