31. Clearly, the Wheels Are More Important
All Americans, if not every citizen of the world, remember where they were when they saw the moon landing in 1969 if they were alive. But let’s be honest, to the average person, suitcases with wheels are far more important than walking on the moon… Suitcases with wheels were “officially” invented in 1972, while the first moon landing was in 1969, three years before.
There were probably wheels on suitcases before that time, really, but it wasn’t as widespread or well-known. Besides, that is the official date. The good news is, due to how low gravity is on the moon, astronauts probably wouldn’t have needed those wheels anyway.
