Eugene Aldrin, the father of the famous moon landing astronaut Buzz Aldrin, not only witnessed the Wright brothers’ first flight (1903) but also went on to see his son land on the moon (1969) in his lifespan. 

Air travel really took off in the 1900s (sorry for the bad pun 😬)

I love random facts! Great idea for a thread @Lennie

There is a type of jelly fish that can somehow reprogramme it's own cells, returning them to an earlier stage of life. This means it can age in reverse and turn from an adult back into a baby and is therefore immortal!!
