TBH recent times weren't my main focus - what I wanted to try and show was how the scale of modern time looks on the overall scale of all time. But I'd love to find a way to make it easy for lots of people to edit the list of events. Thanks for the comments!
I'm kinda impressed by how fast we can travel now, given we were stuck at much the same speed as the ancient Egyptians up until the steam train came along. And I read once that Gagarin traveled five times faster than any human had before, which is a huge jump in the graph! (I've not checked the accuracy of that though.) You'd need a different kind of video to show this though.
