If you think about it, a lot of advances transpire over a lifetime.

I always find it stunning how aircraft developed from the canvas covered wooden frame bi-planes at the end of WW1 (1918) to the Boeing 747 jumbo (1969) in just 51 years .... and as you say, even more amazing was man on the moon later that same year.
