I wanted to show real time rendered graphics in the same interval, but there were no real time graphics in 1959.
Still, these two are 33 years apart, so we can do half.
New technologies tend to explode very quickly while there is obvious iteration and improvement from a new principle left on the table and then they settle down as the room for improvement shrinks.
fyi: you can make these show up in your comment by using

My experience with how these are rendered in different apps is... inconsistent. I'm not on a Lemmy instance, so I end up going with the simplest option.
If and when all Fedi apps do this properly... well, at that point I wouldn't have to add anything manually, would I?
Rockets are far older than airplanes and have absolutely nothing in common with each other, other than "things you do in the air". It's equivalent to taking a shit and brushing your teeth. Not connected at all.
Except they absolutely influence each other and to pretend like there is a world where one exists without the other, especially building a spaceworthy rocket, is just wrong. Aerospace principles are highly intertwined even if the application of knowledge gained from either is applied differently.
I would say that they’re like brushing and flossing. Very different on the face of it but the background to either is completely linked to the other. Each informs and aids the practice of the other.
You could argue that spitting out some pixels on a CRT has about as much to do with rendering millions of polygons into multiple frame buffers and collecting the whole thing into a digital image to output over HDMI.
The OP makes a decent leap in terms of "things that move us away from the ground", I don't have a problem with it, even if there are a handful of big changes in methodology along the way.
I mean, if we take your caveat at face value we end up with some combination of the Concorde, a F-35, the A380 and a remote controlled drone. Honestly, the point stands just as well.
