See What A Difference A Few Decades Make In These Historic Before And Afters
By |
9. In the 1903 first World Series, the Pittsburgh crowd swarmed the field and play continued.
Pretty sure that wouldn”t fly today.
10. The first photo taken from space was strapped to a V2 rocket in 1946.
Pictures from space today are a little more… detailed.
11. The first climber to reach the summit of Everest was Sir Edmund Hillary in 1953.
Judging by the traffic today though, you”d guess it was commonplace.
12. The first World Cup final was held in 1930 in Montevideo, Uruguay. However, only 13 teams entered because of the difficulty of getting to South America at the time and thus Uruguay defeated Argentina 4-2.
In 2014, 209 countries were eligible to qualify.
13. With only 16 nations allowed to compete in the first modern Olympics (1896), only three men actually raced.
206 nations were in attendance during the 2012 London games.
14. The first neon light was installed in Vegas in 1941.
Which is a FAR cry from today”s Sin City.
15. Western Berliners looked on as work began on the Berlin wall in 1961.
This past year, Berliners celebrated the anniversary of the wall”s fall, and marked it”s former path with illuminated balloons.
16. The first photograph of the moon, taken in 1839.
The first photograph of Earth taken from the moon in 1969.
A picture of both the Earth and moon from China”s Chang”e 5-TI satellite in 2014.

These photos are truly priceless. The advancements we”ve made, the changes we”ve seen… just make me excited to see what the future holds.
