This dimension groups pioneers of spaceflight by the year they were born. Wikipedia notes that early milestones such as "the first human spaceflight (Yuri Gagarin aboard Vostok 1) in 1961" were achieved by a generation born decades before spaceflight itself existed. Browsing by birth year lets a visitor compare pioneers from the same generation.
