10 more years

The average lifespan of an empire is 250 years. The life cycle of an empire is broken down into six ages. They are:

The Age of Pioneers
The Age of Conquest
The Age of Commerce
The Age of Affluence
The Age of Intellectualism
The Age of Decadence

As the US turns 240, now that we are now almost at the end of the Age of Decadence.

We live in interesting times.

Dunno m8. Did the US have its 'The Age of Intellectualism'?

And to be fair, it wasn't decadence that killed of Britain. It was the US and Germany.

They used to send people on the moon.
