Soon according to wikipedia means 2067 to 2099

Ooh that's cool. Higher chance of seeing that than Betelgeuse.

I'd love to, but realistically there's no way I'll still be around by then.

Soon probably means in the next thousand years, the article isn’t clear. The star’s 10,000 lightyears away so whatever was going to happen already happened.

Closest they can get is "coming years", which is soon in cosmic terms.
