Forget the moon. We're all within a few generations of the first people who had access to indoor toilets on a mass scale.

    India basically introduced toilets in a single generation.

    According to this article, in 1993, 70.3% of the Indian population did not have access to toilets. By 2021, the number dropped to 17.8%. So literally more than half the population of India got access to toilets within 30 years.

    Any kind. There's further breakdowns in access to flushing toilets, dry latrines, composting toilets, etc., but this is part of a long standing project to get people to stop open defecation in places where untreated human waste will mix into drinking water, food supply, etc.
