I can't believe the Great Depression was less than a century ago. Seems like it was just after the Civil War in my mind

You know what always blows my mind? There were only about 65 years between the first powered airplane flight and a man being rocketed to and landing on the moon. Crazy how much was accomplished and advanced in that relatively short amount of time (and how war and conflict and a geopolitical pissing contest were the driving forces behind such expeditious achievements).
