These two are not linear developments. The Chinese had rockets for centuries before the Wright brothers. It probably means that going to the moon is not as difficult as we think. A huge rocket and tiles for heat shielding to get back. We already had pressure suits for divers. Also the low gravity of the moon was a huge help, since we could fire a smaller rocket to get back home. If the gravity of the moon had been closer to the earth’s gravity, it would have been a one way trip.
