I just saw a video of the hundredth woman in space. Honestly just felt so bizzare that there's humans that have just .... left the planet. Thats insane.

Penicillin / antibiotics comes to mind. As well as vaccines. "Oh you're body is being taken over by millions of microscopic organisms? Take this pill and it will go away. Maybe take this shot too so it won't happen in the first place."

And of course computers + the internet were a pretty big boom too.
