Seeing or knowing the future is not possible since by knowing of the future you can change it, and already have changed it in quite a way, and therefore what you would be able to see or learn would not the future any way (you would see the effects of the effects of the effects [ad infinitum] of you seing into the "future," which you never did any way). This is unless we go into multiple timeline theory, of course.

Do you want to see the past though? That's easy. Just find some way to build and plant a super high tech telescope on our closest neighborhood planet, and then point it at earth. ;)

Seriously though, at some point someone will construct a telescope on Mars and use it to record ground-level video of events on earth up to ten minutes into the past (which would be useful for public assassinations, "terror," and the like).
