How the fuck did technology mature so fast? Surely nothing like this has never been done in human history. Was it really because of those pesky world wars and darn soviet? What other factors contributed to aviation development?

Actually it was a race between Team USA (Von Braun) and Team USSR (Korolev). There was a chance for Americans to send the first satellite but the US government was scared because of dumb legal issues concerning activity in space and because they weren't sure if they want a German being responsible for their great national moment.
So for the next 10 years they had to play catch up with the Soviets.

Knowledge is cumulative and pushes a self-reinforcing feedback
More we know = next round we can know even more, and so on and so on.
