What’s next for Cosmology?

Cosmology is one of the great scientific successes of the last century, but we find ourselves in a bizarre universe, ever expanding and dominated by dark matter and dark energy, whose nature we have yet to determine. So, what’s next for cosmology? In this talk, I’ll review where we are, and what we know, but also address the question of where cosmology will go next.
