The TikToc NPC trend
Probably how we went to the moon and then later successfully sent a rover to Mars to study and take pictures. It's something I can't really explain on a technical level but it happened
In the fifties they were aspiring to that already, engineering seemed unstoppable. May not understand how we could pull it off and then our own kids don't believe us, though.
Frankly, the hard part would be explaining why got there and then just sort of stopped. They'd be disappointed we don't have a permanent lunar colony and manned missions to Mars yet!
The internet. Youd first have to explain computers, and thats not easy. Going further just compounds the issue.

That we've been to the moon and back, and that they can casually toss into their pockets a device with enough "thinking" power to do the necessary math for the task and then some.
And that we still can't make nylon stockings that don't "run," but that nobody cares because we don't wear them anymore.
That, and transgender is normal.

If they are from the US, it's probably that leading republican candidates don't see Russia waging war on a democratic country as a problem.
how old were they in the 50s and how old are they now? That's probably the crucial thing to know. 70 year old was born in the 1880s and probably would have difficult time to understand much of the current society. 15 year old would probably learn quickly new technology and societal norms. If they'd be middle aged or a bit older man, they'd probably be quite uneducated and would probably have difficult time socially to adapt modern society, where you can't casually sexually harass women and where you don't get job simply by walking to work place without a college degree.
We're still nowhere near making space travel as easy as taking a cruise ship.

Why civil rights are a thing.
More like why civil rights still arent a thing even though we passed a law in the mid 60s about it.
