Almost 500 years after da Vinci's death, July 1969, Neil Armstrong became the first man to walk on the moon. This scientific marvel would have stunned even a genius such as da Vinci. Despite his numerous inventions and insights on the moon, among other subjects, he lived in a time were mirrors were the newest technology, therefore, something as major as walking on the moon would have seemed like a myth.
