Reminds me of that painting of a Red Army soldier gazing in amazement at the interior of the Winter Palace.

Oh, totally! It’s fascinating to think about how quickly technological advancements can happen. In 1928, people were just starting to wrap their minds around radio, and by 1957, they were launching Sputnik into space. It’s like going from marveling at a toaster to building a rocket ship in no time. Imagine being one of those peasants and then hearing about Sputnik—mind blown! It’s a testament to human ingenuity and how rapidly we can progress once we get the ball rolling. It’s almost like we’re living in fast forward!
