Reasonable predictions for the most part.

I personally doubt that FTL travel will ever become a reality anytime soon, if at all, the "twin electron" trick notwithstanding. But I would love to be proven wrong, even posthumously

It will take an awful lot of energy to bring tanks of heavy hydrogen to Earth -- especially out of the sun's gravity well. Will the ships be able to carry enough fuel to have any left over when they get back?

I don't think the flame of war will necessarily keep burning forever. It is the evil wind of religion that keeps fanning that little pilot light that we inherited from our Neolithic ancestors. If humanity can find a way to dump religion -- at least the monotheistic patriarchal ones that seem to cause most of the trouble -- we will have a good shot at putting war behind us.
