1958 – Two rockets designed by the German engineer Ernst Mohr, the first German post-war rockets, reach Earth's upper atmosphere.
1959 – The Soviet probe Luna 2 crashes onto the Moon, becoming the first human-made object to reach it.
2015 – The first Human observation of gravitational waves is made, a century after they were predicted.
These gravity waves —ripples in the fabric of spacetime— are believed to result from a cataclysmic event calculated as 1.3 billion light years away from Earth.
