How old is Grandma

Yeah and in my lifetime a Bugatti Chiron Longtail that goes 304 MPH is available. Space Adventure are selling seat for a trip to the moon for 150 million. A 70 Cuda Hemi convertible can be had for 2.25 million. Doesn’t mean they are available to me.

My point was that many of those things existed before 1952. There were nearly 17 million TV sets in use in the US.
With all due respect, the fact that you, or almost anyone else, can't afford space flights or cars that cost more than they'll earn in a lifetime doesn't mean they don't exist.
