My great-grandfather grew up with horses and carriages and saw man set foot on the moon and the early days of the internet. He saw the rise and fall of the USSR. What will I see?

Time wise, the moon landing is located roughly in the middle between the first image, and now. It happened almost 60 years ago (59).

We have since invented the internet, and a lot of great ways to waste our time

The chariot lasting as high tech for 3800 years has some part to do with the dark ages.....

But what if...

My grandfather lived from 1871 to 1971; from Kitty Hawk to one small step on the moon.

I'm certainly not.

I feel like the pictures over-exaggerate the difference a bit. The wright flyer was literally made by two people in their spare time while the space program was around 4% of all federal spending and had almost half a million people working on it in some capacity.

The creation of the airplane and the creation of the movie studio.
