First flight of an airplane: 1903 First landing on the Moon: 1969

67 years. Not even a single average lifetime.

I remember there being a newspaper interview with an old lady. She was a child and saw one of the wright brothers first flights. She then got to see man land on the moon, at the other end of her life.
